Harvest Time Broccoli & Cauliflower Soup
This was a really SIMPLE soup. It's a good one for the "first soup of the season" because of its speed and simplicity if it's a beautiful autumn day you can go and enjoy it without spending a chunk of your afternoon chopping soup veggies!
I just used what I had on hand...left over from a veggie tray from Evan's birthday.
So, a whole head of broccoli or cauliflower would be too much.
Heat a little EVOO in the bottom of a soup pot
Slice a leek or chop an onion
Sprinkle a little salt & pepper
Add a bay leaf and any other herbs you like
Cut up cauliflower and broccoli into small pieces
toss with the other veggies and herbs
Cube 1 white potatoe and toss it in.
Add chicken (or veggie) stock to cover
Let cook until potato is tender
Add 1/2 red bell pepper diced (for color).
Yup, that's it. Really.
We live on a tight budget and try to make the best food we can for our palates, our health and to live as lightly as we are able. We have had an annual CSA share for 15 years. We try to buy as much of our meat from local farmers as we can. We compost and we try to avoid waste - the waste of allowing things to go bad either before using them, or after they've been turned into a meal.
