A request???

I've seen lots of people posting their receipes, but I don't think I've seen anyone with a specific request, so I hope this is allowed.

With fall and winter approaching, we eat a lot of soup. What I don't have is a good receipe for vegetable soup. Does anyone have a good receipe for that?

Thanks!

I have a rather yummy cauliflower and potato soup and a veg soup.

Peel and chop three potatoes and a head of cauliflower and put in a large saucepan. Cover in water, veg or chicken stock, just to the top of the veg. Cook until soft, blend and add milk to make thinner. Add salt and white pepper. Float a swirl of soured cream on top and a tiny stream of extra virgin olive oil or a nugget of butter. Top with a tiny sprinkle of any fresh herb you like. Dill, parsley or tarragon are good ones.

Veggie soup:

Grate equal quantities of potato, carrot and any other root veg you like and put in a saucepan with a chopped onion and the juice from the gratings. Cover with veg or chicken stock and bring to the boil. Cook until everything is tender. The starch in the potato thickens the soup. Add salt and pepper and some tinned or cooked frozen cannellini, edamame or kidney beans if you like them. This is also nice if you add finely shredded cabbage towards the end of the cooking time so that it is lightly cooked. It makes a nice contrast with the rest of the veg. Floating a swirl of extra virgin olive oil on top makes this extra special but it is good without.
