Summertime Never Ending Soup Iron Rich

extra nutritious for those triple digit temperatures and No Rain in Sight for a Long Time

no fat except for whatever amount of butter you use / no sugar either / plenty fiber and vitamins and minerals*

1 quart meat bone stock (rather a jellied broth)
celery onion and finocchio and garlic roughly chopped in the food processor
saute in butter/olive oil until lightly carmelized

add the broth and simmer until incorporated / the vegetables need not be completely cooked through

slice and cook in a little butter a blue plastic box of white mushrooms / when some of these are browning put them in the broth / keep out some whole slices for chewing interest if you wish

after a bit of cooking and cooling blend the soup until creamy / then add the slices of mushrooms reserved / season as you like / salt and pepper / any fresh herbs / maybe a splurp of cream just before serving

okay that was day one

day two :

we are lightly steaming the baby/toddler spinach thinnings / just nip the roots and leave the tender stems / put in blender with some half and half or milk or even broth / whir it up and add to the mushroom soup base

save some soup for day 3 :

add fresh corn kernels just off a barely cooked cob

(not sure about the compatibility of mushrooms and corn ? see how they grow ? corn in stretched out acres in blazing sun / mushrooms in dimdarkshadydampplaces / they both like to grow and live with others just like them)

okay time for some electrolyte water


*weight watchers No points for the vegetables and No points for the broth / points for whatever butter and cream you use

ps for even more iron richness put a couple of tablespoons Amaranth grains / they have to cook for 20 minutes
