- roast any vegetables you think would go together (broccoli + carrot, butternut squash + fennel, throw some alliums in there …)
- blend until smooth (reserve some part to add back in later if you like some chunks)
- flavor: add salt and pepper and some spices to taste (toasted cumin, smoked paprika, rosemary are some of my favorites). Make sure you add enough (at least a few tbsp per pot). Could also add broth or buillion if you have it.
- add cheese or a sip of cream or milk or other creamy substance
- add cronch, like some croutons or toasted bread or crispy onions
Same basic formula mixed and matched with anything left in your house results in infinite options!

You have things that are wilting, crying out to be used. I had a slightly soft turnip, carrot, bendy celery, and scallions that we’re getting a wee bit slimy.
Brown the vegetables that can handle it (the root vegetables—don’t put your alliums 🧅 yet)
Then add the softer stuff, celery, onion, leek, whateva.
Big bomb of garlic and Rosemary, if you have it.
At this point I add a base that I use for a lot of soups and such which is tomato paste and miso (bc I never have stock on me). And whatever spices you think go. Paprika and cumin.
Can of chickpeas. Mash like 1/3 of them for thicker soup base.
If you have a hardy green like kale, chop it up, toss it in. if your greens are not Hardy, add later.
Some tomatoes, canned peeled. (TIP: do NOT add the sauce from these canned tomatoes, save it for later or something, it’d simply too powerful and will cover up the tastes.)
Water — enough that some will evaporate and you’ll still have enough soup in the pot. and salt, a good amount bc vegetable soup needs it and if you’re like me haven’t used stock..
Let boil, then simmer Like 20 mins. Taste. MAJOR: apple cider vinegar and W sauce puts this shit over the edge !! You can toss in some pasta like ditalini if you want. Grown up alphabet soup. I actually do not cook the pasta in the soup bc it fucks up the water levels, make on the side and then add imo.
Ok enjoy :-)

… after hitting up the barber for the first time in forever to get my beard trimmed. I forget that I enjoy the hot towel even while the guy is trying to talk to me about bitcoin.
