Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Green Velvet Soup 2 stalks celery, sliced 1 onion, chopped 2 potatoes, diced 3/4 cup dried split peas 2 bay leaves 6 cups vegetable broth 2 zucchini, diced 1 head broccoli, chopped (I included stalks) 1/2 teaspoon dried basil 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 4 cups chopped fresh spinach (I used radish leaves and beets tops) salt to taste (I added 2 garlic cloves, squeezed) In a large pot over medium heat, combine onion, garlic, celery, potatoes, split peas, bay leaves and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer 1 hour. Remove the bay leaves and stir in the zucchini, broccoli, basil and black pepper. Simmer 20 minutes, until broccoli is very tender. Stir in spinach or beet tops/radish leaves, boil 5 minutes and remove from heat. Puree in a blender or food processor using an immersion blender or a handheld blender. Salt to taste.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 All the reposts are great recipes. You can also saute some garlic, onion, herbs, in a little olive oil and cook them on the stove. They will cook up fast. I don't have much luck finding nice tops but one day I did and thought, these are gorgeous I wonder if I can eat them, well why not try. I tried them in the Green Velvet Soup with the chard and just loved them. You will have some nice fresh ones to work with! Enjoy! Donna --- rosetalleo <rosetalleo wrote: > Thanks Donna!
