Vegetable Soup

Cut up vegetables and boil them in water. This is called soup.

If you want, you can stop reading now and go make this yourself.

This is the oldest recipe in existence. Humans have been boiling things in water to eat them for at least 30 000 years. I think there's something fun about that - when I make this, even though my stove and pot and knife look very different, I'd like to think that our ancient ancestors would recognize the simple act of boiling vegetables for sustenance.

Let's talk about ingredients.
