I love soups year round and here’s my Autumn/Winter soup for this season and beyond. My mother made a type of this tasty soup for our family as we were growing up. The ingredients were almost always a guarantee to be in our fridge and the pantry. This recipe is cost affective, filling and healthy. I am sharing my simple version of this soup. I always use this opportunity to utilize any extra vegetables I have in the fridge. Add them to the soup mix so nothing goes to waste. By doing so it switches up the taste each time you make it. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 lb. Ground Turkey, Beef or Buffalo
6-8 cups stock, chicken, veggie or beef, depending on your preference of soup consistency
2 large celery stocks, sliced 1/4 inch

2 Bay Leaves
Optional: Cayenne pepper, to taste

Optional: Add any other Vegetables, cook appropriately before adding to soup mix.
Directions:
I like to roast my potatoes in the oven for extra rich taste. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees, toss potatoes with olive oil, Italian seasoning, black pepper and coarse sea salt, add to taste. Roasting potatoes approximately 30 minutes or until soft. Remove and set aside in bowl.
In a large pan add a drizzle of olive oil, add ground meat of your choice. Cook through but do not over brown. When done set aside in a bowl.
In a large pan on medium heat
drizzle a quarter size amount of olive oil, add onion and fennel. Cook until caramelized stage, When done set aside in a bowl.
Using same pan add a bit of olive oil then add carrots, celery cook to medium soft. Remove, set aside.
