For the Vegetarians/vegans, I make a veggie soup.

Scoutgal's Veggie Soup

You can use frozen or fresh for this recipe. Canned would be a very last resort.

2 carrots sliced
2 parsnips sliced
2 stalks celery sliced
2 red rose potatoes cubed
1 head of kale or cabbage, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup of peas
1 cup green bens cur intoo bite-sized pieces
1 cup lima or white beans
1 cup kidney beans
Three to four cups of vegetable broth or stock-enough to cover the veggies
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning(the herb-only kind)
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
Salt and pepper to taste-I like ground white pepper in this dish.

2 tablespoons flour.

Put all ingredients in a stock or stew pot, reserving one cup of broth.

Stir flour into remaining broth until desolved-no lumps. Add to soup(this step can be left out, if you do not like thicker soups-just add all the broth at the same time).

Simmer until veggies are tender.

I serve this with sourdough or french bread and a fresh fruit salad. Any of the vegetables can be shanged to suit individual taste.
