I've seen many
recipes calling for pre-made products (V8 or onion soup mix )-
not that there's anything wrong or bad with these products. But,
I've always liked using all fresh ingredients (except tomato
paste) - Here's my recipe for CSD Diet Plan:
In
a large roasting pan, place some cut-up onions, celery, carrots,
leeks, turnips, mushrooms, peppers, & any other aromatic
vegetable. The more you use the more savory your stock will be.
Roast at 400dgr. for about 40min. or until slightly browned. Mix
up veggies every once in a while so the ones on the bottom can
brown too.
Place roasted veggies into a stock pot with about 1-1/2 gallons
of water (water should be packed with veggie blend). Add a can
of tomato paste & a bunch of fresh parsley &/or other fresh
herbs, bring to a boil, then lower heat to med-low and simmer
for about an hour.
Strain veggie stock and place in new or same stockpot. You can
discard veggies (if cooked enough, they shouldn't have much
flavor anyway).
In veggie stock place fresh diced veggies of your choice and a
finely chopped head of cabbage (red or green or both). Simmer
this for about an hour or until veggies are soft.
The key to any good soup is the pure homemade stock or broth.
