It was 80 degrees in Los Angeles for the holidays and New Year’s. Do you know how disconcerting that is for a New Yorker?! So I, of course, had to rebel and make some soup. It IS winter back East, after all.

I’ve also been in the middle of my chef course, so making something new has been on the back burner for a while (yes, that pun WAS intended). We have to do homework during the week, so I don’t always have the time to be creative. This week I did! Yay!

I was so tired from all the fancy “holiday” food (read sugar, fat and calories), that I wanted to make a vegetarian soup that was hearty and used winter veggies. I combined a few different recipes and came up with this. I don’t think you’ll miss the meat here. I had my boyfriend give it a shot and he doesn’t like ANYTHING healthy-he loved it and had seconds. I just like food that has substance and this is just the ticket. It’s a tad high in salt, but you can omit the salt from the seasoning mix and just adjust the seasonings at the end.
