Pureed Vegetable Soup

Today's lovely weather of thunderstorms and clouds put me in the mood for some comfort food, aka warm soup. For this recipe, all you need is a pot and a blender or immersion blender. This dish is extremely easy to make your own by choosing your favorite vegetable or mixed vegetables. Feel free to use chicken stock, vegetable broth, or just plain water as I did.



You can make this recipe with vegetables like cauliflower, asparagus, or a mix of your favorite vegetables. I had a bag of microwaveable broccoli and cauliflower so I decided to put it to good use. I included some string beans to add a bit more variety. To start, saute some onion and garlic in a pot with either olive oil or Pam spray. Once softened, add your choice of broth or water. If the vegetables you're using are raw, boil in water or broth until easily pierced with a fork. Once cooked or microwaved, place all ingredients in a blender and mix until pureed. Add in more broth or water to reach your desired consistency. Season to taste and enjoy. I promise it tastes much better than it looks!





Recipe:

1 Tbsp Olive Oil or Pam Spray
1/4 Cup Onion
One Clove of Garlic
2 Cups Mixed Vegetables
1/3 Cup Water or Broth (You can always add more)
Season to taste
