Hey sexy! If you’re wondering why there’s a recipe for vegetable soup on my website then you must not have seen my brand new blog “I SPY SEXY” on GlobalGrind.com BUT here’s your chance to show it some sexy love right now!
LIZZIE’S LIP SMACKIN’ PIPE CLEANIN’ VEGGIE LOVIN’ SOMETIMES CLUCKIN’ SOUP
(I didn’t create this recipe…just it’s sexy name)
INGREDIENTS:
1 medium-large sweet onion
1 bag organic baby carrots
1 bunch celery
1 bag frozen organic sweet corn
3-4 small red potatoes
1 box organic vegetable broth
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1/2 Tbsp cayenne pepper (watch out…you can always add more but you can’t take any away)
*If adding chicken just get a lil pre-cooked one from the store…slow-roasted is always a sexy choice
In a large soup pot, mix together:
vegetable broth (use entire box then fill box with water and add it too)
cayenne pepper
*extra salt if you’re using “low sodium” broth
*anything else you’d like to add…garlic powder…salt (whatever melts your butter baby)
Heat broth but no need to boil…it will be simmering for a while. The point is to set the flavors free and get them fornicating! If you bought a slow-roasted chicken you may now strip the meat off its bones & add it to the broth…taste taste taste! Keep temp low…simmer
Time to chop and saute your veggies. I like to do it hard to soft…usually that means onion, carrots, celery, corn, then potatoes. I don’t chop my veggies too small (except for the ones I don’t like to look at as much)…you don’t want them getting too soft and mushy. The onions are the only ones you want going limp…their juices ooze out much yummier this way ;D I saute as I chop…adding each veggie as I go. Use a second pot for this step. Pour on the olive oil, the butter, salt, garlic powder, and any other sexy spice you desire. Be careful not to overdo it…this soup ends up with a ton of flavor on its own. I don’t know how, because I really don’t care for any of the ingredients in it…but it really does come together quite fabulously in the end.
Saute your veggies until they they get slightly “creamy” which should take about 20 minutes once you add the last ones (potatoes should be last…don’t mash them!) It’s all up to you boss…once you are just about satisfied with the tenderness of your veggies, drench them in your sexy broth and start taste-testing! At this point the soup just needs to stir & simmer…I let it go for maybe another 10-20 minutes while I sprinkle salt, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
SEXY CHEFS trust their “gut” NOT their recipe…so be creative! Be spontaneous! Add a little of this and a little of that here and there until it’s so good your mouth is watering for a whole bowl full. Don’t forget to turn the stove down as low as it will go and save the leftovers…they’ll last for at least a week, maybe two if you didn’t add any chicken. Take time to savor your fresh, healthy, delectable dish and enjoy it my sexy friends!
P.S. I would not recommend eating this for the very first time before an important event or a big date…LOTS of fiber in those veggies!
