Soup for a cold, rainy day

Had some asparagus, some broccoli, some kohlrabi....decided to put it all together in a soup.  I cooked some cut up onion, smashed garlic, chopped asparagus and broccoli, and a little kohlrabi in about 1/2 cup of chicken broth. 

Bring it to a boil and then simmer it until the vegetables are soft. 












In another pan, I melted a tablespoon of butter added two tablespoons of flour, some salt and cracked pepper and mixed that all together.  Do not let the flour brown. 

 Next add about a cup of chicken broth and bring it all to a boil.









 
In the meantime, once the vegetables were soft I pureed them with my immersion blender.  Sorry the photo is blurry!

When the roux is boiling, add it to the pan with the vegetables and add a cup of half and half/soy milk plus 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt  Squeeze some fresh lemon juice in there and let it all simmer together until you're ready to eat.

Delicious!

Cooking is so much about seeing, smelling, knowing what works together and what doesn't, judging the quantities of things. It all comes from experience.
