With the snow still falling outside I took to the kitchen to make a batch of
Home-made Veggie Soup. I love this soup because you can change it up every time you make it. Whatever veggies you have can turn into a delicious, hot & flavorful soup. I made lots since my youngest will be dropping in today and being a vegetarian, she will want to take lots home with her. This soup is best if made with a
vegetable stock instead of water and BJ from Sweet Nothings says to always fry your onions before adding them. Barley is a must in this soup but if you prefer noodles, go ahead. Pop over to visit BJ and see what's cooking at her place.

My grand-kitty Hugo loves to hang out in my office when he can. I know why. It's because that's where I keep the NIP. He's no dummy! He also likes to advertise for my company.
He loves to be
up high while he is
high.
I'm having a great time with Bud & Chase these days. I just love those two tabby brothers. They are so adorable and you can hear them purring in the next town. Today I sat on the couch and turning from one to another I gave them both a nice massage. Oh boy, they love that. Chase almost fell on the floor in ecstasy.
Wishing you all a sun-filled day even though we are buried in snow here. We Canadians are a patient lot.
Hugs, Deb

Two of my favorite things..soup on a cold day and kitties to love on! ;D
ReplyDeleteI love to make homemade veggie soup! I use as you said, whatever veggies are in the house and I also use frozen.
ReplyDeleteI like mine to be a tomato based soup though and I often use chicken stock (I like the flavor)....for an extra "kick" I add red pepper flakes (we like things spicy around here! lol)
One tip though...I never add rice, pasta or noodles, etc to a soup that will be eaten for more than one day (or frozen)...I make that on the side and serve it in the individual bowls of soup because pasta or whatever starch you use absorbs the liquid from the soup.
Oh..oh..
ReplyDeleteThe soup looks so DELICIOUS :-)
Yummie.... I love soup !!
