"Soup is good food" I found this for the World Tour. Serve this with freshly-baked Finnish Rye Bread and some cheese for a nice lunch.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups water
2 small carrots, sliced
1 medium potato, cubed
3/4 cup fresh green peas or frozen green pea
1 cup cut fresh green beans or frozen green bean
1/4 small cauliflower, separated into florets
2 ounces fresh spinach, cut up (2 cups)
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons snipped dill weed or parsley

Directions

1
Heat water, carrots, potato, peas, beans and cauliflower to boiling in 3-quart saucepan; reduce heat. Cover and simmer until vegetables are almost tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
2
Add spinach; cook uncovered about 1 minute. Mix 1/4 cup of the milk and the flour; stir gradually into vegetable mixture. Boil and stir 1 minute.
3
Stir in remaining milk, the whipping cream, salt and pepper. Heat just until hot. Garnish each serving with dill weed.

This soup is incredibly delicious! Made as directed, substituting the first 1/4 cup milk with buttermilk. Even picky DH loved it, and he doesn't like to eat his veggies! Thanks, Elmotoo! Made for Veggie Swap.

Great soup! Nice and creamy for a cold day. I love all of the veggies. I used frozen peas,fresh young green beans and parsley for my choices. The hardest thing to do was to peel veggies and that wasn't tough at all. Thanks so much for posting!! Made for Photo Swap '08.

This is an excellent soup — soothing and nourishing and pretty, too, with its milky white broth polka-dotted with colorful vegetables. I added 1/2 cup corn, to appeal to the children; also used white pepper so as not to have black speckles.

This soup is delicious. I prepared it with frozen cauliflower, green beans and broccoli. I omitted the spinach because my family doesn't care for it and garnished with parsley. Made for Veg*n Swap 3
