Summer Vegetable Soup
This vegetable soup is loaded with garden goodness, from zucchini and green beans to celery and potato, but it's the turmeric that gives it a tasty new twist. It's one of our favorite summer soups!—Edith Ruth Muldoon, Baldwin, New York

Delicious! The whole family loved it, without the usual “it needs something” comments. I did alter it to suit what was in the fridge: 3/4 c cherry tomatoes (unpeeled) instead of a large tomato, added 1/2 sliced acorn squash, 1/4 c chopped celery instead of celery leaves, plus I threw in several sprigs of fresh thyme, a rosemary branch and 1/4 cup of good sherry. The sherry was especially good. Also in a glass while cooking :)
I loved this soup and only gave it 4 stars because I modified it and didn't stick with the recipe "as written". I added a little orange pepper, garlic with the onion, chopped celery instead of leaves, 1/4 tsp. ground mustard, 1/4 tsp. lemon pepper seasoning, and sprinkled a little cooked bacon on top because I was hungry for bacon. I also skipped the tomato paste. I love recipes like this that allow the cook to interchange vegetables to personal preference and I agree that the turmeric gives it a great flavor and color! I'll keep this one for sure!
Tumeric gives broth a nice flavor.
Very tasty. I love the idea of using my veggies from my garden. Nice and fresh, smells great cooking on the stove.
I made this as directed except that I used chick peas instead of white beans, and I used fresh herbs from my garden for the seasoning. Next time I will make it a little spicier but it was delicious. I like it cold on hot , humid summer days.
Delicious! I made this soup for meatless Monday. I followed the recipe to a T and It was a big hit. I will make this again and again. Thanks!
We had this for dinner tonight. Delish!!!!
Great soup! Used canned petite tomatoes & frozen mixed vegetables in place of of tomato & green beans. Didn't have any turmeric but added minced garlic to onions. Delicious will make again.
this looks great and I'm going to try it today ... but I want to know if it will freeze well for enjoying this fall/winter???? I'll upgrade my review after trying the recipe ... :)
Great summer veggie soup! I omitted potatoes and added thin sliced carrots. Then 10 mins before done added baby shell pasta. Delicious!
