Broad range of vegetables is suitable for soups like this one: potatoes, pumpkin, onions, garlic, carrot, peas, even some spinach, broccoli, cauliflower and similar. Simply, use what you have ... |

If you intend to add some meat, add it now - it will be blended later with the vegetables. Turkey and chicken are great for such 'light' soups - turkey and chicken breasts are rich in protein, low in fats and add rather gentle flavor ... |

If you are blending meat and vegetable mix in separate pot, don't throw away the boiling water - after blending, put the meat and vegetables in the same water (it contains so much vitamins, minerals, flavors ...). |
Recipe is very simple.
Put cold water in suitable pot, add vegetables, some salt, pepper, perhaps a laurel leaf and let it boil for 15-20 minutes.
After boiling for some 15-20 minutes, blend everything using small hand blender - this can be done even while meat and vegetable are cooking (if your hand blender is intended for such use).
Now, let the meat (if present) and vegetable boil for 15-20 minutes more (depending on the soup content).
From time to time, mix gently everything and add some water if necessary.
Cream vegetable soup can be served in almost any occasion or season and can be made using fresh or frozen vegetables.
Note: if you are adding fish, be sure that there are no bones in the meat. Personally, I like fish, but prefer adding turkey or chicken breast meat to soups like this one ...
Bon Appetite!
