Cream of Vegetable Soup

My mother always makes this recipe when she has too many vegetables in the refrigerator. She throws some of them in a pot and makes a simple soup. Now I do the same at my house it is a great way to avoid waste, and this is a very healthy soup too.

Ingredients:

2 small onions
2 carrots
3 cups squash cut in pieces
2 stalks celery
2 or 3 zucchini
whatever else you want


Instructions:

1. Clean and cut the vegetables into pieces.
2. Put all the vegetable in a pan and add enough water to cover them.
3. Add salt to taste.
4. Bring the vegetable to a boil and then simmer them covered for about 30 minutes.
5. When they are close to done taste them to check the salt and adjust accordingly.
6. Once cooked blend them to a cream with a hand mixer.
7. Serve hot with a sprinkle of fresh ground parmesan.

Notes:

The ingredients above are only a guide. Use whatever you want. Throw in a potato or two, add more zucchini, skip the squash or whatever you want. This is a truly healthy and good dish.
