Country Soup, take one

Main ingredients:
  • White onions
  • Mushroom stalks
  • Broccoli stalks
  • Wild rice
  • Chick peas
  • Large can of crushed tomatoes
  • Greens (pre-cooked)
  • Garlic
  • Chicken broth
Seasonings:
  • Salt/pepper
  • Celery salt
  • Herbs de Provence
  • Forgot the others
  • Dried bay leaves
Likes:
Love the greens in this, adds a nice color with the tomatoes, the unusable mushroom and broccoli stalks cook to a nice tenderness. Chickpeas also add a nice hardiness.

Dislike:
Maybe a little too tomatoey in the broth, I don't think that it's savory enough just yet.

Improvements:
To make more savory look into serving with fresh croutons on top with a sprinkle of a good cheese. Also look into using fresh herbs, though the dry herbs add to the hardiness and girth of the soup.
