Vegetable Soup - Groentesoep
A clear vegetable soup for a starter or snack

- chopped vegetables (carrot, leek, celery etc)
- vegetable stock or water and a stock cube
- salt and pepper
Bring the stock to the boil then add the vegetables. Simmer for 15 minutes to produce a clear soup, no thickening required. Season to taste.
Paradoxically, authentic Dutch vegetable soup also contains small meat balls.
Tip: for a more substantial soup add dried vermicelli for the last few minutes. .
