Easy Recipe for Cream of Any Vegetable Soup

I love universal recipes that work in a variety of seasons with a variety of ingredients. If you learn 10 recipes by heart that can each be made 10 different ways, that is 100 recipes. Adapt them to the season and the ingredients will be the best and your soup will be amazing!

Cream of Any Vegetable Soup

Serves 4 - 6

1 Onion, chopped

2 Leeks, white part only, washed and chopped

2 Tb Butter

2 Tb Flour

3 C Milk

3 C Vegetables (your choice) - onions, asparagus (save the tips to garnish), cauliflower, etc.

1/2 C Cream

Salt and Pepper to taste

Cook the onion and leeks in butter until softened. Add the flour and cook over medium heat for a minute. Add milk and the vegetables and simmer until vegetables until tender, 5 - 20 minutes. Stir in cream and bring back to a simmer. Transfer to a blender and puree. Season to taste and serve.If it is too thick, thin with a bit of milk or water. If to chunky for your taste, you can press it through a strainer.
