Vegetable Soup Recipe

(Zuppa Sante)



Any kind of vegetables may be used for this soup: carrots, celery,

cabbage, turnips, onions, potatoes, spinach, the outside leaves of

lettuce or greens of any variety.



Select three or four kind of vegetables, shred or chop coarsely cabbage

or greens, and slice or cut in cubes the root vegetables. Put them over

the fire with a small quantity of cooking oil or butter substitute, and

let them fry until they have absorbed the fat. Then add broth and cook

until the vegetables are very tender. Fry croutons of stale bread in oil

and serve them in the soup.
