A Simple Soup for Tired Evenings
When energy is low and hunger is high, this gentle vegetable soup asks almost nothing and gives a great deal.
I cook best when the recipe respects the day I am having.
This soup is that kind of recipe: onion, carrot, whatever greens remain, stock, a little oil, salt, and time. No performance. Just warmth in a bowl.
How I make it
- Soften a chopped onion in olive oil until sweet.
- Add carrots and any sturdy vegetables you have.
- Cover with stock or water, simmer until tender.
- Finish with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon if you like brightness.
Serve with bread if you have it. Eat slowly if you can. Cooking does not have to be impressive to be kind.
