This deliciously nutritious soup was purely accidental. I had prepped a bunch of vegetables for a new golden beet coleslaw recipe I was working on. I had a new food processor and the grate on the carrots and beets was too fine, so the coleslaw was just a big pile of mush. I won’t be doing that again, yes size matters, at least in coleslaw. I had a bag of the prepped veggies left so I decided to try to make a soup, this recipe was the result. The portions on the veggies I don’t think matter much this is a rough guide. Also, I call for grated vegetables, but I think you could chop them up in 1” chunks or smaller, all that matters is that they all cook through and will blend up to a nice smooth consistency.
