Summertime Root Vegetable Soup

1 lg. onion

1 lg. purple shallot

1 yellow pepper

2T butter or coconut oil

1 lg. carrot

1 lg. sweet potato

1 red beet and greens

3 radishes

4-6c water

1-2T chicken soup base

2t curry powder

½-1t ground black pepper

Mince part of the onion and shallot.  Combine with the chopped yellow pepper and butter or coconut oil and sauté over med.-high heat for about 10 minutes, stirring so it doesn't stick and burn.  Meanwhile, slice or chop the remaining vegetables however you'd like them.  Add to the pot along with the water, soup base, curry powder and pepper.  Simmer only until the beet and carrot pieces are done the way you like.  At this point you could add a can of coconut milk if you'd like, for the flavor.  You could also blend it!  It's 81° here with high humidity. . .and I'm making soup 😃 I'm a Hard Core Soupie!!  I love it all year 'round.  Hope you do too.  Be Bold. . .Be Creative!!  Happy Cooking 😉. . .
