Summer

End of Summer Soup

 

It is a kaleidoscope harvest, when the start of fall merges into the end of summer produce. The combination lends itself to a tasty, simple soup. Start with homemade broth if you have it or substitute your favorite low-sodium broth. This soup is packed with vegetables but could use a burst of protein. If you are vegan try adding beans and cooked rice for a complete protein. If you are more carnivorous add in some pieces of chicken or a few slices of your favorite cheese on whole-grain French bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (high heat), divided
  • 1 onion, small, finely chopped
  • 1 fennel bulb, small, finely chopped
  • 1 carrot, medium or 2 small, sliced thinly
  • 1 cup potatoes, baby potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups broth, homemade or store-bought
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 cup broccoli, finely chopped
  • 1 cup cauliflower, chopped
  • ½ cabbage, small
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, small, sliced in half moons
  • 1 summer squash, small, sliced in half moons
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs

Serving Size: 4 People



 

Preparation Instructions

Place a soup pot over medium heat and drizzle in the oil. Add in the chopped onion and fennel. Saute for 3-5 minutes until it starts to soften. Add in the carrots and potatoes. Saute for another 3-5 minutes.

Next add the broth, garlic, broccoli, and cauliflower. Bring up to a simmer for about 15 minutes until the potatoes and carrots are starting to become tender.

Toss in the sliced cabbage, tomatoes, zucchini, and summer squash. Bring back up to a simmer for just a few minutes. Finish with the fresh herbs.

Sprinkle in a bit of fresh Parmesan or a dollop of pesto if desired.
