Chunky Vegetable Soup - One of the greatest things about vegetable soup is you can eat it almost any time of day, once it is made. Generally it even tastes better the next day! Interested in switching it up a bit? Try sprinkling on some freash, grated parmesan cheese.
Prep Time: 20 mins |
Ingredients to make Chunky Vegetable Soup
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 pound leeks,white only,cut into long,thin strips
1 small onion,chopped
1/2 carrot,chopped
4 garlic cloves,chopped
1/3 pound savoy cabbage,or a mixture seasonal cooking greens,thinly sliced or shredded
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
3 ripe tomatoes,chopped
1 teaspoon red harissa paste
6 1/3 cups vegetable broth,approximately
15 ounces canned borlotti beans,drained or substitute pinto or a red bean
*ADDITIONS*
2/3 cup plain yogurt
1/2 lemon,for the juice
1 pinch paprika,for color
salt and black pepper,to taste
Directions to make Chunky Vegetable Soup
Step 1:Heat olive oil in a large skillet and saute the leeks and onion for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add carrot and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the greens, coriander and tomatoes, cover and cook for 2 minutes
Step 2:. Stir in the red harissa paste (see variation), broth and beans. Cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the greens are tender.
Step 3:Combine yogurt and lemon juice. Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the yogurt mixture. Season to taste. Serve immediately in large shallow bowls, sprinkled with paprika.
Step 5:**VARIATIONS. *Lowfat: use less or no oil to soften the onions. Switch to a lowfat plain yogurt then reduce the lemon juice to taste. *Use parsnip, sweet potato, or pumpkin squash instead of carrot. *TESTED with red kidney beans and spinach, we used a Herbed Harissa instead of the red; mixed it with the yogurt and added at table.
Step 6:**TIP: If you make extra soup, do not add yogurt to the reserve. Yogurt should not be heated, only warmed by the soup.
Step 7:**Harissa is a chili pepper sauce with many variations.
