Scale
  • 2 onions
  • 3 ribs of celery
  • 2 zucchini
  • 12 bell peppers
  • 6 small potatoes

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Start with chopping all the vegetables.
  2. Saute onions and celery in a little butter first. Then add potatoes. Throw in the peppers and zucchini BUT NOT ALL OF THEM. Reserve about a cup of peppers and zucchini to add at the very end.
  3. Add chicken broth, milk, bay leaves, salt and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil and simmer. Bust out your emersion blender. This will make your soup soft and velvety.
