Recipe Notes

This soup is wonderfully comforting, and satisfying with a crusty piece of bread.

Use vegetables that are mildly flavored such as carrots, turnips, spinach, zucchini. I have not tried using peppers and other strong flavored vegetables.

Tastes amazing the next day!

Pairs wonderfully with  Moroccan Khobz bread
