Winter Veggie Soup

Alrighty then. So I've been too fucking lazy to post, but now I am back.
Today we have what could possibly be the most delicious soup ever.
I am too tired to call you fucks out tonight. 
I have nothing more to say.

Winter Veggie Peasant Soup


You'll need;
2 leeks (only the stalks, not the leaves)
3 red bliss potatoes (unpeeled, but thoroughly washed)
2 large carrots, peeled
2 lotus roots, peeled
1/4 Cup of chopped garlic
2 Tablespoons Vegan butter
1 Tablespoon Salt
4-6 cups Vegetable stock (Depending on your desired thickness)
Salt and Pepper

Optional;
1 large sweet potato, peeled
1 Green Carrot, peeled


The  first step is rather easy; Take all of these vegetables, and slice them thin. I recommend using a mandolin. Wash the leeks thoroughly, or you'll be eating grit like a motherfucker. In fact, make it a habit to wash all your vegetables thoroughly, you gross people.
Slice your leeks, children.
This is a sliced green carrot. Looks weird as shit, tastes awesome.
  
Lotus root may look creepy, but it adds a bit of crunch to the mix.


Once you're done with all that, take your leek and garlic, and sautee them in the Vegan butter, until the leeks start to soften. Toss in the rest of the vegetables and let them stew for 2 minutes.



Add in your Vegetable Stock, and then let it simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes. I prefer my soup to be a bit thicker so I use less stock, but you can do what you want, you're adults. (or so I assume)



 At this point you'll want to take a good Third of the soup, and puree it. Really go to town on the fucker.


Mix that back in with the rest of the brew, add salt and black pepper to taste, and you're good to go. 
I throw a few basil leaves on top to make it look pretty. Plus, they taste good and all that.
