Simmer the soup until the vegetables are tender. Puree in blender or food processor until smooth. Add salt/pepper to taste. Serve NOTES : Instead of stock or vegetable bouillon cubes, you can take out ½ cup of soup after pureeing and dissolve a tablespoon of miso in it, then return it to the pot and mix. Almost all of these combinations are good with the addition of ½ an onion and a clove or two of garlic sauteed in sherry. Other possible additions (not combined, of course): : a tablespoon of tomato paste

: ½ cup of leftover beans or grains : a few dried mushrooms or dried tomatoes : a few tablespoons of sauerkraut : a tablespoon of capers or chopped pickle added before serving : a tablespoon of yogurt swirled in right before serving (pretty!) : toasted pumpkin/squash seeds or wheat germ sprinkled on top Recipe by: Net
