Golden Vegetable Soup

Ingredients:

1 large onion, cut into rings.
3 large carrots, sliced.
1 head of broccoli, chopped.
1 and 1/2 cups peeled, cubed sweet potatoes.
2 stalks of celery, cut into pieces.
1 zucchini, sliced.
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
2 sprigs parsley, chopped fine
2 tsp. saffron or turmeric.
2 large cans of chicken broth.

Directions:

In a large pot, slightly saute the onion. Add the remaining vegetable in layers. Allow to cook on medium heat for 15 minutes. Add broth and seasonings. Bring to a boil and simmer until the sweet potatoes are soft.

This is an easy soup to make and you can make it to your own preferences. I happen to love sweet potatoes, so I use more than the recipe calls for. Also, I add my turmeric a little at a time.

You can also use more chicken broth. It also tastes great as a leftover because the flavors have time to "blend". If you've got more vegetables than liquid left, just add more broth.
