Vegetable Soup

It's getting cold. Soup is easy and will keep you warm and healthy. Supermarkets sometimes sell chopped vegetables that are mixed together already. This way, you won't have left over vegetables sitting in the fridge for months.

Ingredients
1-2 carrots (chopped)
1-2 parsnip (chopped)
1/2 sour apple (diced)
1/4 cabbage (thickly chopped)
handful parsley (chopped)
two bullion cubes (veggi or meat)
1 Sweet corn (two pieces)
1 Zuchini (chopped)
1.5 L of water
salt to taste

1. put all ingredients in pot
2. heat till it boils and reduce to simmer (cover pot with lid)
3. add salt
4. cook till all the components are soft and soup is flavorful






Enjoy!


Note: If the soup turns out too thick, add water! It can always be reduced again. Alternately, if you are storing the excess for the rest of the week, keep it thick and then add water before rewarming the soup for a meal. This is what i did. It also compacts storage space :) I enjoyed the fact that the pieces of each vegetable were kept thick. It means that each meal will taste slightly different as long as everything isn't overcooked.
