You have things that are wilting, crying out to be used. I had a slightly soft turnip, carrot, bendy celery, and scallions that weāre getting a wee bit slimy.
Brown the vegetables that can handle it (the root vegetablesādonāt put your alliums š§
yet)
Then add the softer stuff, celery, onion, leek, whateva.
Big bomb of garlic and Rosemary, if you have it.
At this point I add a base that I use for a lot of soups and such which is tomato paste and miso (bc I never have stock on me). And whatever spices you think go. Paprika and cumin.
Can of chickpeas. Mash like 1/3 of them for thicker soup base.
If you have a hardy green like kale, chop it up, toss it in. if your greens are not Hardy, add later.
Some tomatoes, canned peeled. (TIP: do NOT add the sauce from these canned tomatoes, save it for later or something, itād simply too powerful and will cover up the tastes.)
Water ā enough that some will evaporate and youāll still have enough soup in the pot. and salt, a good amount bc vegetable soup needs it and if youāre like me havenāt used stock..
Let boil, then simmer Like 20 mins. Taste. MAJOR: apple cider vinegar and W sauce puts this shit over the edge !! You can toss in some pasta like ditalini if you want. Grown up alphabet soup. I actually do not cook the pasta in the soup bc it fucks up the water levels, make on the side and then add imo.
Ok enjoy :-)
