Receta Cream of Vegetable Soup
A good base comfort soup for the winter season. Cauliflower, potatoes, carrots, onions and garlic predominate, but you can rifle through the veggie bin and sub out others like spinach, zucchini, parsnips, etc. and you can increase or decrease the ratios of vegetables to your preference. About 9 cups of raw vegetables are needed. When the chopping is done, the soup goes together quickly and cooks in less than 30 minutes. If you prefer a dairy-free soup, replace milk with vegetable or chicken broth.
