Melissas 3 Step Veggie Soup Recipes

This is Melissa McCarthy's recipe from Good Housekeeping Magazine. I tried it because DH is having Bariatric Surgery in May and he has to eat healthy purees post operativelly. He actually likes it, so I thought I would post it. Easy and delicious.

When it comes to stocking the pantry with root vegetables, most people stop with potatoes (regular and sweet), carrots, onions and garlic. And those are excellent to have on hand. But there are loads of other, more neglected roots, like rutabagas, turnips, radishes and celery root, worth having on hand. All root vegetables will keep for months in a cool, dark place, and they come in very handy, whether you want to roast up a bunch with olive oil and spices, or you want to make them into soup. This soup may not be the most beautiful of dishes, but it's hearty and nourishing, and highly adaptable, easily made with just about any root vegetables you have on hand.

A very easy but delicious soup, which uses more vegetables than the traditional Pea & Ham soup. I puree the soup before putting the meat back in, but its fine if you don't. In fact if you don't puree, you get to taste more of the individual vegetable flavours. If you like it meatier, just put in more bacon bones!
