Ingredients
Finely dice the following vegetables1 onion 1 clove garlic 1 stalk celery 1 large carrot 1/2 cup diced swede (turnip)1 teaspoon butter for flavourSaute these vegetable with a little water for 5 to 10 minutesAdd diced broccoli stalks 1-2 cups (keep the florets for other dishes)2 cups frozen or fresh green beans1 chicken cube (oxo)Water as desired
Directions
Put all the first group in a pot with a little water and the teaspoon of butter, and saute gently until flavours are released. Add the remaining ingredients including water (or strained vege juices from cooking dinner) to cover. Season with salt and pepper as desired and simmer until vegetables are squishy, or to your taste. You may like to process until smooth, but I enjoy the lumpiness. In the summer add cougettes and other summer low GI vegetables.

    I prepared this soup and made a few adjustments. I used all of the veggies mentioned except turnip thought it might be bitter. Used the seasoning and adjusted my own. I will make it again. Made this again. - 8/9/11
