We tried this once before, but I was unhappy with the results.

That particular recipe called for potatoes. Now I understand the use of potatoes in a pureed vegetable soup. Potatoes give a soup like this body, and richness. However, the recipe itself was rather flawed in that it called for the potatoes to be cooked in the soup base. This both caused the entire soup base to taste heavily of potato starch, and destroyed my hand-blender when I (despite misgivings) tried to puree the soup in the time period described… when the potatoes in fact were still way too hard to blend up. End result: many unblended potatoes and one perplexed husband saying “I broke your thingie”.

It was edible, after a wild rummage through the cupboards and fridge in search of ingredients for a major doctor-up. But that doctoring happily led to the recipe below, which I am quite satisfied with.

This time I think I’ve gotten what I was looking for.
