These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.

Vegetable Cream Soup

A dear friend of mine in Alaska made this soup on cold, wintery days, and I immediately fell in love with it. It has definitely become a comfort food for me...and a great way to load up on veggies!



Time: 20-30 minutes
Ingredients:
* 2 Tablespoons butter
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* Veggies of your choice (onion, carrots, celery, zucchini, squash, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, corn, green beans, peas, peppers, etc.; 1 cup of each)
* 2 Tablespoons flour
* 1 cup chicken broth
* 1 can creamed corn
* 1 cup milk
* Salt and black pepper to taste

Preparation:
1. Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Melt butter; saute veggies for 5 minutes.
2. Add flour and mix thoroughly amongst veggies until thick; stir in chicken broth and creamed corn. Cook until all veggies are soft.
3. Add milk and heat through until slightly thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste; enjoy!
