Such a simple veggie soup recipe.\u00a0 So simple in fact, that I kept looking up other Vegetable soup recipes to see if I was missing a translated word or recipe item here and there.\u00a0 The flavor was not intense, but simple, warm, and hearty.\u00a0 Perfect for the spring rains we are getting. My 17month old ate his whole bowl, asking for more.<\/p>\n

The recipe says “1.5 lbs of vegetables”.\u00a0 I cut the veggies into bite size pieces, some vegetables that are easily simmered in soups are:\u00a0 Mushrooms, corn, carrots, peas, celery, onion, [green beans, tomatoes, cabbage, and spinach; I did not have these ones on hand] .\u00a0 Although cauliflower, peppers, and broccoli also work, I prefer these veggies not so mushy, so I left them out.<\/p>\n

Cutting your vegetables the night before, if you have time, is really a bonus.\u00a0 I got home from work and emptied my container into the soup pot, measured out my water, and turned it on to cook, ignoring it until it was time to eat.<\/p>\n

Here is Grandma’s recipe:<\/p>\n
