Vegetable soup

Basically you can put together any types of vegetable (except maybe salad!) you have around and cook them together. The basics not to miss are: white onion, celery, tomato, carrot, potato. Add a little grated ginger if you like, it's good for your health, it gives a little zest to the soup that enables you not to add salt. Garlic is also good to add, maybe an herb such as Parsley or Basil. Other foods can be added such as Pumpkin pulp, string beans, lima beans, lentils, black beans, zucchini.
I cook it all together in enough water to cover all the foods, but not too liquidy. I either grind things with the hand grinder in the pot or when the soup cools a bit, in a blender. If it comes out a little watery, you can reheat adding a little pastina or some rice. Serve with parmesan (parmigiano) cheese or croutons baked in olive oil.
