Veg Soup

Let's talk about braising vegetables first:

The technique is totally old-school. The foundations of French cooking include dishes like braised endives and braised leeks. Greeks know that a snappy veridian green bean is good, but one slowly cooked in a tomato-based sauce redolent with onion and garlic and a hint of cinnamon might look muddy but tastes fantastic. Wedges of cabbage, fennel bulbs, shallots or onions, slowly cooked in broth or wine or even juice or beer become deliciously slumpy, and completely crave-worthy. For all the joy of a crispy potato, one braised in stock has charms all its own. (from My Recipes)
