So what possessed me to make soup in the middle of July?
It was a powerful storm of feeling particularly energetic one evening after work, too good of an opportunity to get my veggies in (two heads of cauliflower!!) , starting with browned butter, possibly my favorite thing in the whole kitchen, and I got to use my immersion blender.
I ran with it. A chance like this doesn't happen every day.
I have to admit it was also really easy... throw veggies in a pot of chicken stock to boil while you walk away and completely forget it and then, once remembered, stick your blender in for a few minutes and delicious dinner is ready.
Some disclaimers:
I used chicken stock I had made myself and froze months ago.
I used a lot of salt and pepper.
The original recipe didn't have carrots in it, but I had them, and threw them in anyway. When the soup gets blended, you cant tell carrots are hiding in there. (more veggies!)
