INSTRUCTIONS
From: Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites (1996)
This is a very easy-to-make, quick-cooking soup with readily available
ingredients that are found in almost every pantry. Here a light tomato
broth is made hearty with the addition of bulgur. The soup tends to thicken
as it sits, so if you aren't serving it immediately, you may want to add a
bit of water or stock.
Serves 4 to 6 Total time: 30 minutes
In a large soup pot, combine the vegetable stock, onions, carrots, celery,
garlic, salt, dill, and fennel. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover,
and simmer gently for about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and their
juice. Add the bulgur and mix well. Return to a boil and simmer, covered,
for another 15 minutes, or until the bulgur is tender, stirring
occasionally. Add pepper to taste.
[I served each bowl with a wedge of lemon to be squeezed into the soup as
desired.]
