Vegetable soup recipe
with squash and tomato
Here's a simple vegetable soup recipe for you. I had butternut squash on my counter, a can of Muir Glen stewed tomatoes, some greens and onions, and this is what I came up with. You could substitute sweet potato or other hard winter squash for the butternut squash. And you could use fresh tomatoes if they are ripe and available. I think about 3 diced tomatoes would do well. I added kombu (a sea vegetable) for the mineral boost. But it doesn't dissolve totally in this soup. If you like kombu, add it in. The sea vegie wakame would work, too.
Simple Vegetable soup recipe 1 can Muir Glen organic stewed tomatoes 4 cups diced and peeled butternut squash 1 Tbsp olive oil 1/2 cup or more chopped onion 1 tsp sage 2 tsp thyme 2 handfuls mustard greens or other dark leafy greens 4 cups water 1-2 inch piece of kombu, optional salt and pepper to taste Optional: add 1/2 to 1 cup of cooked beans or cooked grain. Wild rice is a nice addition. Use any pilaf or leftover cooked grain or bean that you have on hand. Directions: In a big soup pot, Saute onion, squash, sage and thyme in olive oil. Saute until onions are clear, 5 minutes or so. Add tomatoes and 2 cups of water. Cook 20 to 30 minutes, until squash is soft. Add in 2 cups of water and greens. Cook about 5 minutes. You can mash the squash with a potato masher, right in the pot. Or take out some of the soup and puree it in a blender and add back to your soup, to thicken it. Add a pinch of sea salt and pepper to taste. That's it. Simple, rustic. Vegan. You can adapt this vegetable soup recipe in many ways. Add in a small amount of cooked beans or grains. Add in corn kernels. add in fresh cilantro. It's all good.
