By Faith Chatham   March 26, 2017

Use a stove top double boiler steamer with lid

Wash 1/4 head of cabbage

Peel and slice i3 large sweet white onions into wedges

Wash and quarter 5 large red potatoes with skins

Wash 5 or 6 large fresh brussels sprouts

Wash and separate about a cup of broccoli into flowerettes

Put all vegetables into the top of the steamer

salt vegetables and splash with olive oil

Fill bottom of double broiler with water.

Cover and steam over heat until vegetables are tender.

Serve steamed vegetables

Turn the Vegetable Stock in the bottom of the broiler into Potato Soup

Before serving the steamed vegetables,

transfer 1/2 of the potatoes and 1/3 of the onions to the stock which is in the bottom of the double broiler.

Salt and pepper stock to taste.

Mash up the potatoes into smaller chunks with a fork

.

Add in Mashed Potato flakes to thicken until broth and vegetable mixture reaches potato soup consistency

.

I also like to add in a small amount of the broccoli for color

The soup can be served immediately or cooled and refrigerated to serve later. If refrigerated, when heated if soup is too thick, add water.
