Creamed Vegetable Soups are very simple to make.


First make a roux with 2-4 tbsp/serving of flour %26amp; oil or butter.


Cook over medium low heat, whisking in 1 cup of milk/serving.


Or you can start with the broth %26amp; diced meat of your choice.


Add an equal volume of stock or water %26amp; grated or chopped vegetables.


Stir until thickened %26amp; bubbling, but do not let it scorch.


I use an immersion blender to reduce the graininess if desired.


Serve in bowls, sprinkle grated cheddar or chopped parsley on surface.What are some easy, deliscious soup recipes?
