Delicious Vegetable Soup [Recipe] - July 20th 2011, 10:18 AM

I made this for dinner
My sisters got their braces tightened and requested soft foods

2 Cloves of grated Garlic
4 Diced Onions
2 Tbs Butter

Peeled and diced in inch sized pieces:
1/2 a Butternut Pumpkin
1/2 a Sweet Potato
3 Potatoes
4 Peeled Carrots cut in 1cm slices
5 Celery Stalks (20cm) cut in 5mm
1 Swede cut into 1cm cubes
1/4 Cabbage, shredded thinly

1 Litre of Chicken stock (To make get a chicken carcass or about 8 thigh bones and simmer in water for 3 hours) you can also use a pre-made stock or veggie stock.


Method
  • Melt butter and fry garlic and onions until translucent.
  • add cabbage and chicken stock and simmer until cabbage has sweated down. (About 15 min)
  • add all other veggies except potato and enough water to nearly cover them all.
  • simmer until pumpkin is soft (20-30 min) and add potatoes then continue to simmer gently until potatoes are soft. (20 min)
Optional: Add a can or two of diced tomatoes if you like that sort of thing.

You can use any veggies that are forgiving when cooked for long periods of time such as parsnip, zucchini or beans.
