Vegetable Alphabet Soup

One of my favorite recipes..... well it can hardly be called a recipe because it is never the same thing twice. It basically contains any vegetables you like or have lying around in the kitchen. Alphabet pastas are to get the children (and occasionally adults) to eat the dish.... though my sister complained throughout the meal because there is no meat in it ^^

Steps:

1. Slice, dice, chop the vegetables (this time I used onions, leeks, celery, carrots, tomatoes and potatoes)
2. Heat up a pot and add olive oil
3. Saute the onions until fragrant. This is followed by the other vegetables
4. Turn down the heat and let the vegetables sweat for about 15 minutes
5. Add water or stock and herbs
6. Boil for 20-30 minutes
7. Add alphabet pasta (cooked separately until al dante)
8. Serve.

Healthy and delicious..... except to carnivores who claim that I tried to poison her with the dish... All the nutrients are captured in the pot too ^^ If not adding pasta, add more potatoes for carbohydrates. And if want it to taste better, add more carrots and tomatoes, and reduce celery if you do not like the taste.

Bon appetite!
