Harvest Time Broccoli & Cauliflower Soup

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.
