Tuesday the snow just kept coming and coming. We went in the late morning to vote in our town elections and when I came home I decided it was a soup lunch day. Raided the vegetable drawers and came up with this combination:
three celery stalks and one onion sauteing in butter,
carrots, parsnips to add,
about 6 portabella mushrooms,
a potato,
3 cups of beef broth (low sodium),
2 tablespoons flour to add to celery & onion mix to make a roux before adding broth and the rest of the vegetables.
I seasoned it with a small handful of Herbs from Provence and chopped garlic plus some black pepper.
Once it came to a boil I let it simmer until lunch time. Meanwhile outside the snow just keeps coming.
I placed a handful of arugula in the bowls and served the soup on top with a sprinkling of shaved parmesan. Dan pronounced it delicious. I thought so too.
And the best part is there is enough to have it again today - Wednesday.

It was a sleety sort of day here, but the snow didn’t accumulate too much, and it tends to not stick for too long now. Mind you, the winter accumulations are not melting much yet. It’s just that the new stuff doesn’t appear to be staying long.
...we have been enjoying chicken soup!
Yesterday was definitely a soup day as we had accumulating snow as well. Here in Nashua, it was homemade chicken soup served with homemade bread (recipe to post) and we also have leftovers. Your soup looked delicious, Marcia.
The snowy photos are beautiful! Soup sounds good and I always love to bake on cold days. Stay warm and safe!
Wonderful "put together" soup. What you had on hand, and your knowledge of what works well to make a soup in a couple of hours. Snow looks pretty and I'm glad you went out early rather than late. We had fluries all day yesterday, but nothing stuck.
That soup looks beautiful and tasty. I can smell in through the computer! Linda in Kansas
I had a "snow day" from teaching so put together Meatball (vegan "beef") Soup in my slow cooker. I also make one very similar to yours but we are plant based so I use Veggie Low Sodium Broth ....yours looks yummy!! love having leftovers for the next day at work :)
IT sounds delicious! We ended up with 4 to 5 inches more than enough.
