I have some organic potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, green beans, swiss chard, and onions. I'm looking for a good veggie soup recipe that uses these ingredients and any others that I need to buy. I know I can just cook them all up together, but I never get the seasoning right. Please help. Kathi
potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, green beans, swiss chard, and onions. OK, lets see... potatoes, carrots and onions in the pot first, even better with carmelized onions (say half) tomatoes through the blender to make thick juice (disclaimer- I force myself to eat tomatoes) add some water, up to half as much as the tomato pulp to thin it. Simmer with a couple bay leaves add toasted cumin, black pepper, five spice, cayeene, garam masala, celery leaves, whatever, add green beans half way through (the base could simmer all day) and chard about 15 min before serving. add lentils in stage one for more protein.
Okay so what are: five spice, and garam masala. I know I don't have them. The other stuff I have. Kathi
Chinese Five Spice? I get mine at Whole foods. Garam masala is (obviously) a masala , which is an indian spice blend. google has zillions of recipies I made mine a couple years ago...eww... I just realized how old mine is..must make more
From Duncan: Spice Someone here wrote about wanting a soup recipe and then there was mention about spices. I buy mine online at http://www.penzeys.com The quality is very high and I have never been disappointed.
