In the winter, mamie Gisele makes a lot of soups. They are not chunky like most American soups but more like a "potage" or soup pureed in a blender. Mamie is famous for her mixed vegetable soup. With the cold weather around it is warming you up!


Soupe de legumes/vegetable soup


Ingredients:

1 leek chopped up

1 turnip

2 rutabagas

5 carrots

4 medium potatoes

1 stick of celery

1 quart of broth

salt and pepper


Saute the chopped up leek in butter. When soft, saute the chopped up vegetables for a while and add 1 quart of water or chicken or vegetable broth. Cook until tender. When tender, use a blender to puree all vegetables and salt and pepper the soup. If you want a thinner soup you can add more broth, thicker add less. Bon appetit!
