Green Soup

Aka potato/spinach/broccoli soup. Other ingredients would probably also be good, though might make it less green.

Ingredients:

Measure them all with your heart

Potatoes, cut up

Frozen spinach (i can't see a reason not to use fresh, but frozen is cheap and comes pre-compacted)

Broccoli, cut up (this is a great use for broccoli stems. Chop them up, put them in the freezer, use in soup)

Onion, cut up

Garlic (cut up)

Lentils (optional, for protein)

Basil

Oregano (or whatever herbs you like in soup)

Water

Broth powder (replace water and powder with real broth if you want, i just very rarely make soup)

Butter

Steps:

Defrost all vegetables that have been frozen. I did not do this, and i probably should have.

Cook onions in butter on medium heat until translucent

Add potatoes, water, garlic, spices, and broth powder. Bring to a boil. Remember why "stockpot" is on your when-you-have-money/space list.

Add broccoli. Bring to a boil for a while, until broccoli is soft.

Add spinach.

Add lentils.

Cook until lentils are soft.

Blend until its a green paste (probably optional, i just like blended soups)

Unrelated to the recipe but this is the best bread i've ever made.
