My regular vegetable soup

Image
My food is grown, not born This is my regular soup routine with vegetables that I usually have in my fridge. I don't like the pressure cooker, so I cut all the vegetables into small pieces.  It takes 25-30 minutes to cook. With this process, no need to add cream (vegan or not). Ingredients (washed, peeled if not organic, and finely minced/sliced/chopped) 2 tbsp grapeseed oil *   1 small or 1/2 onion, small diced 2 garlic cloves, sliced 1 white leek, finely sliced 1 carrot, finely sliced 1 turnip, finely sliced (optional) 1 courgette, sliced 1 tsp salt cool water or homemade vegetables stock 2 medium potatoes, sliced thyme *  I'm going to stop using olive oil : first, it is more and more expensive and above all,  olive oil scams  are proliferating if it is not scammed, the study found traces of mineral oil-saturated hydrocarbons and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons which can migrate into foods during production and transportation (organic or not)... and it accumulate in the liv

Natural bodies are divided into 3 kingdoms of nature: the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms. Minerals grow, Plants grow and live, Animals grow, live, and have feeling - Carolus Linnaeus Stir fried vegetables for eating with rice noodles, my way This is the usual vegetables dish I make to eat with rice noodles. Usually, I make with one main vegetable like cabbage or broccoli, and combined with 1 or 2 vegetables like carrot, mushroom or tomato... and depending on what I have in hand... I use the same seasoning for most of my vegetables dishes. I don't like ginger in stir fry and don't like chilli heat either, so I leave them out. I can do without pepper in any recipes except for Cacio e Pepe recipe 😁 I try to avoid additives and preservatives as much as possible; there are already some in soy and Maggi sauce. So I don't use oyster sauce. I add hoisin sauce, sometimes, in noodle soups I won't use Balsamic vinegar anymore except those which don't contain sugar
