I developed this vegetable-based soup from a recipe my mom made when I was a child. Its robust down-home taste brings back wonderful memories of growing up on the farm.

MY MOTHER'S VEGETABLE SOUP



My Mother's Vegetable Soup image

My mother has been making soup since, well, forever. She uses fresh vegetables, and sometimes varies the soup according to what's in season. But everything used is basic stuff, and it is so good. Add one cup of fresh pumpkin instead of sweet potato during October.

1 1/2 cups rutabagas
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder

Steps:

  • Cut all vegetables into large or small chunks, as desired.
  • Cut chicken into small pieces. (my mother leaves the chicken meat on the bone, because the bones add even more flavour).

  • Let it come to a boil, and then let it simmer for 1 1/2 hours. It can also be easily refrigerated and then reheated.
