Kid-Friendly Creamy Vegetable Soup

from Raising Generation Nourished

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup friendly fat to cook in (butter, coconut oil, lard)
  • 5 medium onions, chopped
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 quarts chicken bone broth (recipe here)
  • 5 lb organic vegetables
  • 8 medium potatoes, chopped
  • Sea salt/pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. In a large stock pot, sauté the onions in the friendly fat for about 8 minutes with a few pinches of salt to bring out their juices
  2. Add the garlic and cook for a minute.
  3. Add the broth, veggies, and potatoes and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce to a simmer until the potatoes are cooked through – about 5-10 minutes.
  5. Ladle out about ½ the soup to a large mixing bowl and puree with an immersion blender (or pour it into a blender to puree)
  6. Add the pureed soup back into the pot with the rest of the soup and stir to combine.
  7. Sea salt and pepper to taste.
