Winter Vegetable Soup

My lunch today consists of left over soup from a couple of nights ago. This hearty soup is made up of ingredients such as sweet potato, celery root, carrots, spinach and small whole wheat noodles.

COOKING TIPS: Cutting up all of the hard vegetables was a challenge but the preparation was a cinch after that. Having never used celery root before I had a little trouble figuring out how to cut it up. Click on this link for a short video if you've never used it before either.

The spinach added towards the end of the recipe would have been easier to eat if it had been chopped up first.

SERVED WITH: I enjoyed this for dinner when I first prepared it. As leftover I found that the soup really thickened up over night and some water/stock needed to be added before reheating. I served up my soup with a small chicken sandwich on whole wheat bread.

RATING: 6. It was enjoyable and hearty but not my favorite.

Tonight I plan on making a vegetarian chili to serve to my running friends after we come back from a long training run. Stay tuned...
