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.
