Hearty Veggie Soup


Hearty Veggie Soup

My son is not a major fan of potatoes. This is one way I get him to eat potatoes as well as other healthy vegetables. He likes the soup with pasta as well.

1 cup steamed veggies - carrots, potatoes, broccoli,corn
1/4 cup cream
1/2 cup milk
garlic salt/garlic powder/garlic spread seasoning to taste
salt to taste (if not using garlic salt)
pinch of oregano

1 tbsp butter (optional- I add it for my skinny LO)
1 cup water/chicken broth

Add first five ingredients to a blender and puree. Add water/chicken broth to the puree. Add the puree to a sauce pan and bring to Boil.
Simmer for few minutes and add butter.

The color of this soup may change depending on the Veggies used.

Reduce Calories: Substitute cream with half and half/or milk, omit butter

Add ons: Crushed Tortilla chips/ croutons/ small pasta
