Pureed Vegetable Soup Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Annieamie / All my dishes 1 year, 1 month ago I bought the new soups that Campbell's just created called "V-8" soup. They're delicious but why not make your own? I have a blender and a food processor that I hardly use that are perfect for making these soups. We all need to eat more vegetables so... More Prep:15m Cook:30m Servings:8	Annieamie

Ingredients

1 pound of raw vegetables of your choice - prepared and steamed

1 tsp-1 TB of your favorite herb

1 cup of water or vegetable broth (You can use a chicken or beef broth) (You can use milk for a creamy texture and flavor.)

Toppings: shredded cheese, crumbled tortilla chips, raw or roasted seeds (like pumpkin, sunflower, sesame), roasted and chopped nuts (slivered almonds, dry roasted peanuts), soynuts, a spoonful of yogurt, popcorn, dehydrated vegetables, corn nuts, fried onion rings, etc..)

***Thickening agents.. see below

1 TB to 1/4 cup of either quick cooking grits, cornmeal or oatmeal, mashed potato flakes, shredded Triscuit crackers

Directions

Puree your vegetables and liquid (broth or water) in a food processor or blender until well-blended.

Pour this into a pot and heat.

Add your favorite herb or herbal-blend/seasoning mix to suit your taste.

Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.

Simmer for 15-20 minutes. (Remember that you pre-steamed your vegetables so they're already cooked.)

Serve and add toppings of your choice.

You can use multiple vegetables by adding things like potatoes, celery, onion, corn, etc...

Pumpkin Soup

1-3 pounds of steamed pumpkin

1-2 cans of pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie mix!)

1 cup of vegetable broth

1 tsp. garlic powder

salt pepper

Cook and serve with a dollop of plain yogurt, sprinkled with roasted pumpkin or sunflower seeds)

Broccoli Soup

2 pounds steamed broccoli (you can use frozen spears or pieces)

1 cup of water

1 tsp. curry powder or lemon pepper

(A few drops of lemon juice adds a nice tartness )

This is good sprinkled with parmesan cheese or some roasted pine nuts or walnuts.

Spinach Soup

2 pounds fresh or frozen spinach, cooked

1 cup vegetable broth or chicken broth

1 tsp freshly chopped garlic

salt and pepper to taste

Add a dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream or even shredded swiss cheese.

*Spinach that is frozen and chopped doesn't really need to be blended but you will get a better consistency if you do blend the greens.

Cauliflower

1 head of cauliflower (steamed, chopped)

1 cup vegetable broth

1 tsp. curry powder or seasoning salt of your choice

Sprinkle the top with sharp cheddar cheese

Mexi-Corn

1 large family size bag of frozen corn, heated

1 cup of chicken broth

1 chopped onion

Top with a handful of Monterey Jack cheese and a tablespoon or two of salsa, either green or red

Squash Soup

2 bags of frozen squash or 4 cups of freshly steamed squash

1 cup of leftover baked potatoes or steamed potatoes

1/2 cup steamed, frozen, canned and drained carrots

1-2 cups veg or chicken broth

Top with 1 or 2 TB freshly shredded carrots

***Above, under the "ingredients," I added some ideas for thickeners. Oatmeal, cornmeal, grits and even mashed potato flakes all make great thickening agents. Since the soup recipes above are not created by NASA, try experimenting with your soups. If they are too thin, add small amounts of the thickening agents, (or more veggies) allowing them to cook completely before adding more to achieve the texture of your choice.

Excellent post, Annie! Hey, you really go out of your way to give us options with your recipes. I think that's really cool of you to do. I have some leftover squash and some broccoli and am going to whip that up using your idea. Maybe I'll add some chicken broth for flavor. Talk about a great way of getting us to eat our veggies! Annie, thanks for your recipes and ideas. And I'm saying that while chewing the last piece of macadamia candy from your recipe! LOL.. its so good!
