Alphabet Soup
Mar. 21st, 2011 11:01 pmYeah, I didn't measure. Makes one big pot of soup.
Olive oil
One large leek, minced
Two stems of green garlic, minced
Two large carrots, diced
One stalk of celery, diced
Four small turnips, diced
One big can crushed tomatoes
One 16 oz. container of really good beef stock
One small butternut squash, diced
Half a bag of frozen peas
Salt and pepper and some French and/or Italian dried herb blend
Cayenne
About 1/4 of a 16 oz. box of alphabet noodles, cooked
Pour enough olive oil into the bottom of your soup pot to coat. Heat until shimmering, then add leek, garlic, carrots and celery. Saute until softened. Add the turnip. Saute a few minutes more. Add the can of tomatoes and the beef stock. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat to a simmer. Add the squash. Simmer until the squash is just soft, about 10-15 minutes. Add the peas, plus salt and pepper and any nice dried herb blends you might have lying around. Maybe also a pinch or two of cayenne. Bring back to a simmer. Add the cooked noodles. Bring back to a simmer. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
