So... I had quite a few veggies that were nearing their end and wondered what I could do with them so they wouldn't go to waste. Found a recipe called "clean out the pantry soup" and tweaked it into this...
Saute...
1 medium onion - diced
3 cloves garlic - minced
1/2 cube of butter
1-2 T olive oil
Then blend together into a puree the following... (all the things my kids won't eat, if they know its there)
4 celery stalks
handful or so of spinach
1/2 bag of carrots
small bag of bean sprouts
6 green onions
Add to the onion/garlic...
Puree mixture
raw or frozen peas - equivalent to one package
raw or frozen broccoli - equivalent to one package
3 cans of black beans
2 cans of diced tomatoes
1 cup of quinoa
2 cans of chicken or equivalent
Add to taste...
Parsley
Marjoram
Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper
Serve with bread bowls or rolls - I used the Brazilian cheese bread rolls
The nice thing about this recipe is that you can tweak it, just remember to taste it as you go.
FYI, this makes a lot of soup. It fed my family 3 meals, but feel free to freeze it if you won't use it right away. My kids loved this, they really enjoyed trying to guess the "secret ingredients" (puree). I had to give hints, not even Alan could guess them. Love it!
