My Budget Soup

When Autumn rolls around, to me it's time for a good vegetable soup. For about $12 I make enough soup to last me a whole week (depending on if my mom and boyfriend are around to mooch).
Here are my ingredients:
  • potatoes
  • onion
  • radishes
  • celery
  • cauliflower
  • carrots
  • green squash
  • organic vegetable broth (2)
  • olive oil
  • fresh parsley
  • salt/pepper
I don't measure anything except one tablespoon of olive oil to cook the potatoes, onion, celery, and carrots in for about 5 minutes before adding everything else in a soup pot. I just chop however much of each vegetable I want. If I use a lot, I add 1 1/2 cartons of the broth, and about 4 cups of water. Bring it to a boil and then simmer for about 20-25 minutes. I like to add the parsley at the end.

My weapons of choice.

Just add to your favorite cracked crock bowl and voila!
He likes it! Hey Mikey!
