Basic Vegetable Soup

Directions

1. 1
   Slice the celery, carrot and onion about 5 mm thick.
2. 2
   Julienne the bell peppers and ginger thinly.
3. 3
   Cut the cabbage roughly.
4. 4
   If you cut the vegetables too small they will disintegrate.
5. 5
   If you want the soup to have volume cut them up into large pieces.
6. 6
   I recommend using a large pot to cook the soup.
7. 7
   Put all the cut up vegetables, konbu seaweed, salt and water into a pot and start heating.
8. 8
   When it comes to a boil lower the heat to medium, simmer for 20 minutes and it's done.
9. 9
   If you are using a pressure cooker, cook under pressure for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat, and leave to cool down naturally.
10. 10
    Season with salt and pepper before serving.
