- .RZ "END-OF-MONTH VEGETABLE SOUP" "Soup with a mixture of vegetables"
- I had an eclectic mixture of vegetables going bad in the refrigerator, so I
- collected them and came up with this soup.
- It was very good, so I would like to share it with you all.
- Caveat: I rarely measure anything, so be careful of quantities.

- .PH
- .SK 1
- Make the \fIbouquet garni\fR by tying the herbs up in a cheesecloth or
- coffee filter. Put a quart of water to boil with
- .AB "\(12 tsp" "2 ml"
- salt (I don't like
- to use too much salt if I use bouillon), the \fIbouquet garni\fR, and the
- bouillon.
- .SK 2
- Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and add these to the soup together with
- the bacon and/or prosciutto ends.
- .SK 3
- Bring this to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes. If scum forms on the surface, skim
- it off.
- .SK 4
- Dice the potatoes and add to the boiling pot.
- .SK 5
- Cut up everything else and add it. Add the wine.
- .SK 6
- Adjust the liquid so that it covers the vegetables.
- After it boils again, adjust the seasoning and simmer for about an
- hour, or until it is done (this is quite subjective).
- .NX
- This will serve 6 people at once, or 2 people for three days.
- It ages well in the refrigerator.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy.
- .I Time:
- 10 minutes preparation, 1 hour simmering.
- .I Precision:
- no need to measure.
