Sopa de Verduras Casera (Home Style Vegetable Soup)
Sopa de Verduras Casera (Home Style Vegetable Soup) is Spanish home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre and the soup. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 1 leek
- 2 carrot
- 2 potato
- 1 cup green beans
- 2 cups chopped cabbage
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tsp salt
How to cook it
- Heat the olive oil in a pot and cook the sliced leek and garlic over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced carrot and potato and cook for 3 minutes, stirring so nothing browns.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, add the bay leaf, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Stir in the green beans and the chopped cabbage and simmer for 10 more minutes, until every vegetable is tender but still holds its shape, unlike the pureed cremas.
- Season with the salt, fish out the bay leaf, and ladle into bowls hot; this chunky broth is the plainer, brothier cousin of a crema, and just as ordinary a cena on a cold night.
