Veggie Drawer Soup

This recipe was originally published shortly after October 7,2023, at a

 time when we were all leaning on comfort food a little more than usual.

And truthfully, this past month has shown me that we’re still there. When things feel heavy having something warm and nourishing on the stove can make all the difference.

This soup is exactly that. It’s simple, flexible, and delivers every single time. It’s also the perfect way to use up any vegetables before they go to waste – just add what you have, let it simmer, and you have something truly comforting ready to go.

Yields 8-10 servings

Ingredients:

2 onions, sliced

6-8 cloves of garlic, peeled

¼ cup olive oil

1 Tbsp. salt

1 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. turmeric

1 tsp. garlic powder

8-10 cups of vegetables, washed/peeled/cut:

Peppers, carrots, zucchini, celery, sweet potato, leek, cabbage, broccoli...

½ cup of fresh herbs or 2 Tbsp. dry herbs: parsley/dill/coriander/basil

Directions:

Start with sautéing onions and garlic, then peel and chop whatever vegetables you have in your veggie drawer, such as carrots, zucchini, peppers, cabbage, parsley, celery, potatoes, sweet potatoes, leeks, and broccoli. Really, whatever you’ve got, this will work. The important part is that you put love into it.

Add in the veggies you have, even if only three kinds. Add salt, pepper, and lots of savoury spices that you like (turmeric, garlic powder, onion flakes, paprika, ginger....). Add in enough water to cover the veggies, then put in any greens like dill, cilantro (coriander), or parsley in the pot. If you don’t have fresh, you can use dry herbs.

Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to simmer for 90 minutes to 2 hours.

Remove any greens that have stems before blending. The flavour is already in the soup!

Let cool and use an immersion blender or food processor with the steel S-shaped blade to blend the soup together.

Put the remaining soup in containers to share or freeze.

Enjoy!
