Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I revisited this soup last week, making a new batch, but instead of broccoli I used a few large bunches of parsley, and one small bunch of watercress. It was wonderful! The one difference being I cooked the potatoes first, since they take longer, and added the chopped greens in later, cooking only for 5 minutes or so. Now I've got a bunch of turnips sitting in my fridge needing to be cooked up. Not sure what to do with those! All my veggies right now suit themselves well to roasts of some sort, and thats just not an option for me LOL. I've got turnips, carrots, fennel, potato and I don't quite know how to work them into a dish. Any thoughts? Heather There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle.

I have made soup twice this week - the second batch had broccoli. I always add spuds & celery & a carrot or two.

I had a big head of broccoli from my CSA and was having troubles brainstorming what to do with it. Just a side of broccoli didn't appeal to me (ever since I went vegetarian for some reason LOLOL). So I decided to make a creamy broccoli soup. First I cut it up in the pieces, along with a bunch of fingerling potatoes with the skin still on them, and put them in a pot of water. I cooked them until both broccoli and potato were done, then used an immersion blender to make it nice and creamy. Then I added a block of silken tofu, a block of cream cheese, a half cup of nutritional yeast and some salt and pepper--and a dash of nutmeg. I blended them up again and served it with a big handful of shredded cheddar on top. I am in veggie heaven! And I have my protein, browns and veggies all in one bowl, I just love one dish meals > > > Heather > > There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Hmmm....how about a blended soup with coconut milk and ginger and chili pepper? I made a carrot soup with coconut milk and ginger and loved it this week. Happy Friday!
