"This came from a food blog, http://chefinyou.com/- "Making Vegetarian Recipes Easy." The author says, "This is a very hearty soup, deliciously thick. If it is too thick for you, then add more water/milk to your preferred consistency and season it accordingly. Add lots of pepper and enjoy!""

  • Warm the skim milk slightly and mix the saffron with it. Set aside.
  • In a skillet, heat 1/4 tsp of oil (you can easily skip it.just add salt to the onions to help it sweat it out), add the onions, garlic,chopped celery and salt. Cook until soft, 2-3 minutes.
  • Transfer the contents of the skillet to a food processor, adding the steamed vegetables, and process until smooth.
  • Transfer the puree to a saucepan, heat to a boil and then bring it down to a simmer. Add the saffron milk, stirring for a minute. Turn off heat.
