Vegetable soups for the whole family

1. Traditional vegetable soup

We couldn’t leave out the selection of this classic vegetable soup that grandmothers always recommended for warming body and mind in the winter. In reality,  any vegetables found at home can be used to make this soup. However, we suggest the following:

Manufacturing

1. Wash, peel and chop all vegetables.
2. Pour the oil into a saucepan, sauté the vegetables and add a little salt. Stir with a wooden spoon to prevent them from sticking together.
3. Remove from the heat and add the pepper powder, stirring well, so that all the vegetables absorb the flavor. The pan should be removed from the stove to prevent the pepper seasoning from burning and becoming bitter.
4. Season to your taste with other spices and stir again.
5. Cover the vegetables with water  and simmer until soft. Test the taste of the soup and add spices if necessary.

Note:  If the broth is too dilute and you want it thicker, mix the vegetables (without water) in a blender and add them to the soup.
