Jill REVIEW:
October 12, 2010

I was looking to replicate a light creamy vegetable soup that I had at Tutti Santi Italian Restaurant in Phoenix. It was the most amazing soup I've had in a long time and this recipe looked fairly similar. I used different vegetables (what I had on hand) but same quantities - I did 1-1/2C carrots, 1 C. brocolli, 1 C. cauliflower and 1 C. Celery - diced small. Then, the rest was the same. Turned out very well. Kind of a light yellow-orange color and very mild. Just like I was hoping. Would be good with some melted cheese in it - which I'll try! Then, I'm going to freeze some and see if that works. Good starter recipe. Not difficult at all - just took quite a lot of time chopping all into a consistent small dice. I used an immersion blender right into the soup pot which worked wonderfully.
