Root Soup

Ingredients: 1 Tb. butter, 1.5 large onions chopped, 2 green peppers, 3 garlic cloves, 1 cup chopped celery, 3 cups vegetable broth, 4 large carrots sliced, 4 parsnips chopped, 2 rutabega chopped, 1 teaspoon cardamom, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon basil, salt and pepper to taste.
Method: Heat butter in an old cast iron pan because your anemic blood needs the iron. Sautee onions, celery, peppers and garlic until shiny. Eat one of the carrots while you do this and think about the conflict between Peter Rabbit and Mr.McGregor. Add rest of ingredients and simmer until all the vegetables are soft (took about an hour). Use immersion blender and blend the ingredients. Serve warm.  Optional: top with dab of sour cream and fresh cilantro.
