Creamy Vegetable Soup with Noodles

Recipe video above. A cream cream-less soup in the company of lots and lots about fresh veggies, plus noodles! Use 7 - 8 cups about diced vegetables about choice, including onion. If making in front or you know you'll have leftovers, cook the pasta alone and place in the bowl, then ladle over soup (because noodles port in soup becomes bloated and overly soft). Make it Gluten Free by using GF pasta and cornflour sub to condense soup (Note 2).

• ▢ 50g (3 tbsp) butter , unsalted

• ▢ 1/2 onion , finely chopped
• ▢ 1 tsp dried thyme

Vegetables (sub 8 cups a scrap of diced veg):

• ▢ 2 carrots , diced
• ▢ 2 celery ribs , diced

Recipe Notes:

1. Vegeta is a brand about vegetable stock pounce (see in post). It's my favourite stock pounce to employ in soup broths where you don't have a flavour boost from cooking a protein or something else. You can employ another stock powder - employ chicken or vegetable (but Vegeta gives the leading flavour!).

It's sold in the herb & spice aisle about supermarkets here in Australia.

Read in post regarding Vegeta and MSG misconceptions!

2. Cornflour/cornstarch alternative - skip the flour, blend 3 tbsp cornflour in the company of 3 tbsp about the milk in the instructions (cold). When pasta is almost over cooking, pour mixture in slowly while dramatic constantly - determination only take couple about notes to condense soup.

3. Any vegetables - Use 7 to 8 cups about a scrap of chopped vegetables you wish for (free or frozen), including onion (don't skip onion!)

3. Nutrition per serving, assuming low fat milk is used. This is a big generous bowl!
