I biked over to the local farmer's market today and picked up a bunch of fall/winter produce without a real plan for what to do with it all. This was an original creation and has a lot of different "wintery" flavors blending together.
We use the same basic recipe for cauliflower, broccoli, pumpkin, asparagus, or mushroom soups. Use the desired vegetable in place of potato. Add complimentary seasonings and herbs. Use a milder, white cheese with cauliflower and broccoli. Cumin seasons cauliflower.
Soups with this flavour are called "Beppe's Soup" by the Bakker clan. Pake usually makes really small meatballs. The delicious flavour is a combination of the Dutch meatball spice and the Honing brand Spring Vegetable Soup mix. Maggi is also used to flavour it. My version is a little different from Beppe's but it is the same basic taste.
We had a delicious dish for supper tonight, and I thought I would send the recipe along in case anyone else wanted to try it.
