mixed vegetable soup

2019-12-22

It's quite a long ingredient list. That is only because I happened to have all these things in the refrigerator. I often a bit of everything in the pot, always seems to work out very well. I still had some already-sautéed leeks, I added those instead of chopping up a new leek.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 4 quarts = 8+ servings:

1 large onion
1 large carrot
1 ft. leek white
2 celery stalks
1 jalapeño pepper
1 cup sweet peppers, chopped
4 radishes for garnish
1 yellow, 1 green zucchini
S&P

optional for meat-lovers:

1 chicken leg, or a small pork or beef roast.

Directions

Gather the ingredients. (Pic2)
Chop all vegetables small to coarse pieces. (Pic3)
Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil. Add chopped onion and stir-fry until brown. (Pic4)
Add the other veggies, stew until beginning to soften. (Pic5)
Add 2-3 quarts of water / stock and season to taste.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes or longer if you want softer veggies. (Pic6) (*)
Serve in a bowl. Enjoy. (Pic7)

Serving suggestion:

Slice a radish very thin and add as garnish. (Pic1)
Do not boil the radish. It will lose all its flavor.

(*) The red pepper in Pic6 is a ripe jalapeño. They are a bit sweeter than green ones.
