Dear Anais,
I'm not having such a great day today...I am feeling kind of blue, and that is what made me think of writing down this recipe for you. This soup is Gramma's soup that she has made as long as I can remember. It is probably not exactly the same as she makes it because she uses Vegeta-a polish bullion that I have traded in favor of a MSG free bullion, but otherwise I think it is as close as it gets. This soups is all purpose. It is great for when you are feeling sick or blue. It was probably made by her mother to feed a lot of children on very little; it has a way of making you feel very full. Thus it is a great weight loss soup too. Gramma Fill was known for never turning away a guest for dinner-you could always add another cup of water to the soup. It has always been the way I have tried to impart some vegetable nutrients to your sister even if it was only the broth. I am sure you know who I mean without naming names! You can make it in varying volumes, but usually I only make it in small enough batches for it to be eaten in two days. It does not taste its best after then.
Simple Soup
chop celery-I prefer the heart, especially the leaves
1 cubed potato any variety for earthy flavor
1 carrot cubed in tiny pieces
1 bullion cube, natural pref vegetable
4-6 cups water
1/4 c soup pasta (should be stars, tiny shells, egg noodles, alphabet or pastina-no penne or macaroni)
throw everything in a pot but the pasta, bring to a boil then simmer on med for 10 min. Bring heat back up to high and a rolling boil. Toss in pasta stirring for 10 more min, stirring occasionally. Serve with white rye if handy.
