ALL veggie soup recipe?
 

I'm looking for something with a variety of veggies. No beans, starches, or meat, or milk.

Any ideas?

Re: ALL veggie soup recipe?
 

When you say no starches, does that include potatoes?

I have a vegetarian minestrone recipe that could be tweaked to your needs. The original recipe calls for

6 c. vegetable stock
2 c. chopped onions
1 c. chopped celery
1 c. chopped carrots
2 c. cubed potatoes
2 c. chopped cabbage
1 c. cut green beans (about 2" pieces)
3 c. cooked cannellini beans
1 c. pesto (without the pine nuts)

However, I have mixed and matched veggies and it still comes out good. You could sub sweet potatoes or butternut squash for the potatoes, kale or spinach for the cabbage (depending on preference), and I'd just add zucchini and yellow squash or other veggies in place of the cannellini beans. :shrug If you are completely dairy-free, you'd need to alter the pesto too... (make just a basil and olive oil paste? or just use a couple of bay leaves, and some oregano and basil as seasonings?) Maybe that's too much switching up :shifty but at least it gives a framework that you could build on.

To cook, I saute the onion/celery/carrots in some olive oil, add stock and bring to a boil. Add veggies and simmer until potatoes/squash are soft. Add pesto and adjust seasonings. If not using pesto, I'd add seasonings earlier...

Here's another favorite, but again it has sweet potatoes and some of the more carby vegetables.

I start with an onion and a couple cloves of garlic. You can add celery with leaves and half of your favorite pepper. Saute in olive oil. Add italian seasoning, basil or thyme. Add chooped veggies like zucchini, sweet potato, greens, pumpkin, anything you like or have around. Cover with water and a good squirt of Braggs or your favorite broth. You can do some spaghetti sauce. Cook till done.

You can do curry and a can of coconut milk if you omit the above spices.

I always saute my spices with onion in the oil for more flava:giggle

When I was growing up my mom would make "refrigerator soup". Start with canned tomatoes, or tomato juice or both, then toss in whatever leftover veggies are in the fridge.

I love this recipe from Epicurious! I usually use chicken broth instead of water but you could use water or veggie broth.
