Simple Vegetable Soup

One cold day, Armin suddenly asked for a soup and I was caught unprepared. Usually, I make ‘Sopas’ which is a Filipino version of chicken noodle soup cooked with milk and he loves it. But at that time, we didn’t have chicken and we just ran out of milk and we had a really ugly cold weather that neither of us wanted to go out and buy some. So I rummage around our fridge and cupboards to see what we have at hand. That is how this soup came to be. It is really very simple and was ready in just a few minutes. I was not expecting so much from this soup because it was so impromptu and experimental but it actually turned out good and, more importantly, it kept us warm and our stomach full.

I am sure, it will also be good to use chicken or turkey for this recipe and add other vegetables like peas or green beans, maybe next time, but I was quite happy with this simple vegetable soup.
