Creamy vegetable soup
Personally, I love creamy stuff and I decided to cook a creamy vegetable soup for this assignment. Since my family members don't like any creamy thing, I asked my best friends to try the soup that I was going to make and I actually done the cooking in their small kitchen.
We met each other after school and did the shopping together in the Stop&Shop that's only about three minutes from our houses(We live two blocks away from each other)
I didn't have a shopping plan so I was buying ingredients that I used to put in my vegetable soup.
Corns are the first vegetable that we add to our shopping basket because they attracted me when we first walked in, they were unpeeled and looked so fresh!
Every thing looked fresh here! We took two potatoes, a box of white mushroom and a box of the brown one, a small bag of carrots, a box of tofu, a bag of celery and finally the half-half cream.
Time to go home and cook!
Ingredients: two potatoes,two corns,three pieces of celery, 2 boxes of different kinds of mushrooms, 1 bowel of carrot, 1 box of tofu and half-half cream.
Here we go, a group picture of all ingredients.
Step 1. Wash all the vegetables and cut them into smaller pieces. Also, diced the tofu.
Step 2. Prepare a stockpot and turn on the fire, add some vegetable oil to it when the stockpot gets hot.
Step 3. Add 1/3 of each vegetable to the pot and fry the vegetable for about a minute.
Step 4. Add all the remaining vegetable and tofu. Then, add about five cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to make the soup taste better.
Step 5. Add 1 cup(1/4 pin) of half-half cream when the soup boils. Continue on large fire and cook for 15 minutes.
When I think I almost finished with my soup, my friend silently took a plate of corn from the dining table. Without saying a word, they all know what I have done. However, I just added the corn to the soup that was nearly ready to serve.
While I was waiting the corn to get ready, my friends were playing games on their phones or "pads", and this made me feel alone~~~
Finally, the corn is ready!
It's time for soup!
I purchased all the ingredients with $15, and there are may carrots and celery left for other purposes. Also, there are lot of soup left over in the stockpot so they are eating the soup tomorrow for their breakfast, lunch and dinner as well(Just Kidding).
