Quick Choose-a-Vegetable Soup

This speedy soup lends itself well to variation. Serve with a simple salad or crusty piece of bread. 

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
20 oz chopped frozen vegetables (California blend or a blend of broccoli, spinach, carrots and cauliflower)
1 small potato, peeled and chopped
1 cup skim milk
1/2 tsp dried herbs (tarragon, thyme, basil, savory, mace or nutmeg)
Black pepper to taste

Instructions:

Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over moderate heat and saute the onion for 2 minutes. Add the broth, frozen vegetables and chopped potato. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are very tender. Puree all or part of the mixture in a blender (to get a smooth or chunky consistency), and stir in the skim milk, herbs and pepper. Serve hot.
