In The Kitchen: Vegetable Soup With ICan

Sarah Haynes, Coordinator from ICan, joined New Mexico Living to make a vegetable soup made from items you already have in your refrigerator.

Ideas for Cooking and Nutrition is a free hands-on cooking and nutrition education program to inspire New Mexico’s limited resource youth and adults to make healthy food and lifestyle choices. Sarah showed us how to make a soup from leftover veggies you might have in your refrigerator.

Ingredients:

• 1 TBS Oil
• 2 TBS flour
• 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth or stock
• 8 Cups of mixed leftover roasted vegetables
• 1 tsp dried dill
• 2 cups of plain yogurt

Directions:

1. Heat a large pot on the stove. Add oil, then stir flour into oil with a wooden spoon to make a roux.
2. Stir constantly until the roux is the color of sand. Stir in chicken broth or stock.
3. Make sure stock or broth is combined, with no lumps. Bring to a boil.
4. Add vegetables and dill. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
5. Stir in plain yogurt.
6. Serve.
