As a disclaimer...this is not the most attractive looking soup. Nor is it the tastiest soup. However, if you really, really, really, like green vegetables...you just might enjoy this soup.
This soup was one of the many things I made during my cooking frenzy last week. I didn't write down anything that I did and the details are kind of fuzzy now, so I'll just have to do my best to recreate it here.
Ingredients
(amounts approximate)
2 cups chopped broccoli
1/2 cabbage, chopped
1 1/2 c chopped asparagus
3 stalks celery, chopped
1/4 sweet onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup cous cous
butter
bacon grease
veggie stock
water
seasoning to taste
(I don't remember what I used...thyme & sage maybe?
Cook the onions on low heat in bacon grease, stirring as necessary. Add the garlic when the onions are browned. Meanwhile, steam the broccoli in a soup pot with butter. Add some veggie stock if the broccoli starts to stick. When it is soft, put it in a food processor until smooth, then set aside. Put the asparagus, cabbage, and celery in the soup pot with some butter/bacon grease and steam. Add veggie stock as needed. Add the onions and mashed broccoli. Season to taste. Add water and veggie stock to achieve desired consistency. Add slightly more water than you think you want. When the soup is thoroughly blended/cooked, add the cous cous and cook til soft.
To be perfectly honest, I did not particularly enjoy this first taste of the soup.
It may or may not have anything to do with the fact that I don't particularly like broccoli or asparagus.
However, I made a big pot of this green goop, so I've been eating it. I think it did taste better after the flavors had time to blend together in the fridge for a few days.
