An original soup: "Green Pantry-Scraper", delicious and surprisingly hearty; the smooth and sultry texture is complemented by the tangy creaminess, and balanced out with the natural bite of lemon, garlic, and ginger. - To make the stock: In a soup pot, sauté 1 half roughly chopped white onion in 4 tbsp of butter for 2 minutes until softened Add 2-3 large whole cloves garlic and 1 whole stalk of green onions/scallions, roughly chopped - sauté for an extra 30 seconds Add 2 large tbsp red miso paste and chase with 8 cups water, 3/4 cups dry white wine, the juice of 1 lemon, and a quarter of the lemon peel - bring back up to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer Simmer for 30 minutes to 1 hr (or longer if desired), until reduced by about 1/4 *Optional: you can add 1/3 cups fresh basil leaves 3-5 min before you remove from heat, or you can add the basil to the blender in the next step; also optional, you can add a parmesan rind to the stock at the beginning, just be sure to remove from the stock later. - To make the soup: Put 1 1/2 cups steamed broccoli, 1 cup steamed carrots, (optional) 1 cup steamed celery, and 2 Yukon potatoes, steamed or baked, into a blender Add 2 tbsp olive oil (can be flavored if desired), 1 tbsp oregano, 1/2-1 tbsp red pepper flakes, 2 tbsp dried parsley, 1 tbsp ginger powder, 1/2 tbsp curry powder, 1/2 tbsp salt, 1/2 tbsp black pepper, 1-2 tbsp honey, and 1/3 cups goat cheese or sour cream Strain the solids from the stock, adding them and 2-3 cups of the stock into the blender, and blend on high (or "liquefy"), slowly streaming in 2/3 cups heavy whipping cream, and then the rest of the stock, until a smooth consistency is achieved Pour the soup back into the pot and slowly bring heat back up to desired temp, or serve directly into bowls *If the rest of the stock cannot fit into the blender, it can be poured back into the pot and incorporated into the blended soup via stirring; alternatively, all ingredients can be added to the pot and blended with an immersion blender until smooth -Optional: garnish with young pumpkin seeds/pepitas, sour cream, and cucumber or white wine vinegar ENJOY!!! #soup #foodporn #pantryscraperchallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/Co1A8Kttmps/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
