Root Soup #SoupSwappers

Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm kicked off this group: Soup Saturday Swappers. And P~, from The Saucy Southerner, is hosting our May theme which is Meatless Soups.

The Meatless Soup Pots

An InLinkz Link-up

I made a pot of soup rife with root vegetables and some greens. Though we're slowly getting away from chilly days and heading into the warmer month, This would still be perfect for a Meatless Monday...or any day really!

Ingredients

1 C diced onions
1/2 C diced fennel bulb
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 T olive oil
2 C carrots, cubed
2 C potatoes, cubed
1 C celery root, cubed
6 C vegetable stock
2 C thinly sliced kale
1/2 C fresh parsley, chopped
freshly ground salt
freshly ground pepper

Procedure

In a large souppot, heat your olive oil. Stir in the onions, fennel, and garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent and beginning to caramelize. Stir in your cubed roots and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are fork tender, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Fold in the kale and parsley and stir until the kale has turned a bright green. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
