Green Soup

Living in Seattle it is important to have at least one great vegetarian meal to impress your non-meat-eating friends. Usually I end up making this soup adapted from a recipe used at the Queen Mary Tea Room where my cousin used to cook. It's simple to make, full of healthy goodness, and I always have enough leftovers for a few lunches.

Green Soup

Onion
One pound bag of broccoli florets
One pound bag of peas
1-2 oz Basil
1 quart water
Vegetable bouillon

Saute the onion in olive oil. When the onion is done add the remaining ingredients. Cook until broccoli is tender. Take it off the stove and let it cool a little. Blend with an immersion blender.

Original recipe includes a Tbsp of mint and a pinch of rosemary but I always skip it because I'm cheap
