Basic Creamy Vegetable Soup
  1. Continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich, soupy caramel color, about 10 minutes longer

  2. Add diced herbs and/or spices (see next page)

  3. Add broth, bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, about 10 minutes

  4. Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, purée the soup until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute of using a traditional blender vent it either by removing the lid's center cap or by lifting one corner of the lid. Drop the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half and half and blend

  5. Add to the soup

  6. Return to pan for a soup pot; add enough half and half to make a nice, creamy consistency, yet thick enough to flow

  7. Garnish, taste, and add salt and pepper if needed

  8. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve
