White Vegetable Soup

Amazing white autumn vegetable soup lineup, and perfectly seasonal.

Each flavor and texture plays off and complements one another. Of course you can skip one of the vegetables and double up on another. You can tweak the amounts of each of the ingredients I am suggesting. But my soup, exactly as is, comes out so fabulous, that my recommendation is to start out with the listed ingredients the same way I made mine, then see what tweaks, if any, you might want to make. You might want to play with other white (white is the operative word here) vegetables or grains as well; in this case take out some of the listed ingredients, to suit your personal preferences, to make room for: canned chickpeas, mushrooms, cauliflower, yellow zucchini, steel-cut oats. All super nutritious, and all relatively low carb.

My Broth is ….  Water!

Yup, you heard me. I’m the water soup girl. All of you who make my soups are used to this feature by now. With all these deeply flavored vegetables going in, I certainly don’t need to worry about a stock or broth base. And this is true of all my soups. Unless it is a specifically chicken soup or beef soup of fish soup, all I ever use to make soup is water. I got enough going in the pot to make it delicious.

White Vegetable Soup is a Snap to Make

Kind of a vegan cousin of my French White Bean Soup: All aboard in the pot, blend, set, go, a whole big pot full. It cooks pretty fast too. And if freezes perfectly too.
