Here is a picture of me making a cup of soup in the airport during a recent trip. This picture has sparked quite a conversation over on Facebook - check it out here.

Simply take raw organic vegetables of your choice, cut them up into small pieces, dehydrate (I use an Excalibur Dehydrator) them completely and then store the mixture in an air tight glass jar until you are ready to use it.

It is incredible how much flavour these little dehydrated morsels retain! And if dried and stored properly this mix has a nice long shelf life.

Use whatever vegetables are fresh, in season and sound good to you. Some ideas of what you can use in this vegetable soup recipe include;

• cauliflower
• cabbage
• onions
• garlic
• parsley
• celery
• mushrooms
• bell peppers
• seaweed
• carrots, etc.

Once dehydrated and mixed together you can then add some spices before storing in an air tight glass jar.

Some of the spices I have added before storing in a glass jar are;

• thyme
• dill
• cilantro
• chilies
• curry spice mix
• sea salt
• paprika, etc.

To rehydrate back into soup, simply pour a little of the vegetable mix into a bowl or cup and add hot water, let sit for a minute and then enjoy a tasty serving of warm vegetable soup.

For added flavour you can add a drizzle of olive oil or hot chili oil before serving.

In our home we often serve this soup with homemade raw crackers.

Have fun with this vegetable soup recipe - this is a great way to use up an abundance of vegetables if you have more than you can use. It's also a great way to buy in season and then still be able to benefit from a harvest later in the year, especially through a long winter.
