very basic vegetable soup

[mellybrelly]

grape tomatoes, because I had them


large onion, lots of great flavour!


vegetable broth base, cause I'm too lazy to make my own (and en français)


few stalks of celery


carrots


cabbage!


try and stuff it all into the pot


cook at medium temp for a while


devour


I don't really add any herbs or spices to my soups, most the time I just make a pot and eat it for a few meals. Little pepper on top, sometimes add chicken. If I have other veggies, I add them, if not, then I just make sure I have cabbage and onion for sure. Broccoli gets mushy if you add it too soon... I just use a variety each time.

That looks so good!
I'm going to have to try that, seems like an easy recipe :)

it's so easy, and like I said below to someone else, someone in the food_porn community suggested adding tomato paste and garlic!!

What I keep meaning to ask you for is your vegetarian chili recipe!!! *bats eyelashes*

[annalytical.livejournal.com]

That looks really yummy! Now that the colder weather is coming I might just try this. Thanks for sharing! =)

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

No problem! From the food_porn community I was given the idea of adding a tbsp (or a few) of tomato paste! And garlic! Yum!! Might have to try it and do a new food post :D

I love Cooking with Melanie! It's what drew me here in the first place :)

Your veggie soup looks very yummy

awesome! I have a muffin one just waiting to be posted, but I have lost the recipe in this room I call a bedroom.

(I got a little sidetracked with running, but I'm hoping to do more food posts soon :D )

Damn... now I'm hungry! And I don't get to eat for another 2½ hours! I'll have to try my hand at making soup once my kitchen is finished :)

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

are you renovating?

I'm hungry too.. Sometimes I don't get these food posts up for a few days and they look soooo good!

[thetech.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am renovating. Right now the kitchen is... well... it isn't. Lack of time, lack of energy, lack of motivation... they all conspire against me to prevent me from getting it done.

No cupboards, no sink, no stove. Once I get them back, I'll be able to try my hand at cooking again :)

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

I'd die without a kitchen I think.. good luck getting it finished!

That looks great!!! I think I shall try it this weekend with some left over turkey!!

I saw a recipe similar to this several years back that got some spicy sausage and sauted it with the onions and then put it into the soup.

I can't tell you how it was with the onions since I am allergic to them, but, I can tell you it was good sauted with mushrooms and garlic!

Can't wait for the next episode of "Cooking With Melly".

oh, I would hate to be allergic to onions! They make such a tasty broth.

Turkey soup sounds lovely though!!
