Some of you hate when I do this, but I'm going to do it anyway. I'm not going to give you a recipe. I also didn't take any pictures of the process (sorry about that) and the final product is a pureed soup, which I don't find very photogenic so I didn't take a picture.
I cleaned out my fridge tonight and you can too. You can use any vegetables you want and make your own delicious soup. If you do, please share it with me.
Here's what I did;
I peeled and chopped 2 stalks of broccoli and half of a butternut squash. I put them into a small pot with water up about halfway and some salt. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes until the veggies are soft. Puree them with a stick blender.
In a large pot I put about 2 tablespoons of canola oil and heat it up to medium. I added about the same amount of white flour and stirred to make a paste (it's called a roux at this point). Then I poured in the vegetable puree a little at a time, stirring all the while.
Then I added the last of the creamer I had left from the weekend for coffee - about half a cup and some milk. I just poured milk straight from the carton, stirring after each addition until it was about the thickness I wanted. I let it simmer a little while. While I checked facebook actually. Then I turned the heat off and threw in a handful of grated cheddar cheese. Stired until the cheese was melted. I tasted it and added some salt. I had a bowl of this and a whole wheat kaiser bun for supper and it was great!
