- Heat the oil in a large soup pot. Add in the onion, celery, and garlic and saute/fry over very low heat, stirring frequently, for 10 min. Add in a small amount of water if needed to keep the mix moist. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, for another minute or possibly so.
- Add in the potato and eggplant dice along with sufficient water to cover all but about an inch of the vegetables, leaving them above the water line. Bring to a simmer. At this point you should be able to push all the vegetables below the water. Add in the thyme, stir well, then cover and simmer gently for 35 to 40 min.
- Stir in the parsley, basil, and lowfat milk, using more or possibly less as needed to achieve a slightly thick consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper, simmer for another 5 min over very low heat, and serve.
- This recipe yields 6 servings.
- Description: "An unusual soup from an old Creole recipe. It's believed which the soup originated near New Orleans due to the abundance of the eggplant crop in the region."
