Ze soupy soup

Hailey's bell pepper soup :)

Alrighty, first things first - this was made from stuff in my freezer and fridge LOL. I have been into food preservation lately because I realised that I was wasting a lot of produce. So I've been saving everything - including roasting bell peppers and pickling jalapenos.

(To roast a bell pepper without fire or hassle, just put it in the oven at 400 degrees, turn it in twenty minutes, and when the skin gets a little browned take it out. Then when it cools down, peel the skin off of it (or most of it) and you can plop it in a bag in the freezer for later or use it right away.)

Recipe- (for two to three people)

*3 veggie boullion cubes (or a little more than 1 1/3 cups of veggie stock)
*1-2 Tbsp onion (that I also had diced and frozen)
*Thyme, basil, cayenne pepper, garlic powder (or regular garlic) & salt - to taste
*2 tsp of vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar)
*A little over 1/3 cup soy milk
*1 roasted bell pepper (I used yellow but I think any color would work.)
*A bit of canned corn
*Coconut oil or olive oil (coconut is much better for you to eat and gives it flavor)
*Anything else you want to throw in, celery would be good or potatoes. I put in some canned beans from the fridge; it was good, but next time I'm using a tiny potato. I also used a tiny bit of jalapeno juice to give it a tiny kick.
*~1 tsp rice flour (or cornstarch if you add it to the cold soy milk) to make it less watery


Throw oil into saucepan and cook up the onion a bit. Throw everything else in and cook it till it's thawed out or until it's hot and some of the water has steamed out. The end. Also whisk it to combine. Can be put in baggies and frozen. Delicious. :)
