Yeast Free Creamy Vegetable Soup

Okay so we have fallen off the wagon a little bit with our diet...so frustrating.  We have all been doing so good for over 2 months but then started to add little things back into our daughters diet and then the rest is history.  Its raining today and we are having a lazy rainy day after church and a fun bday party so I decided to make some soup.  I got this recipe from pinterest Recipe but changed the recipe a little to be yeast free and totally yummy.  The only thing I would do differently is make more of it..



Creamy Vegetable Soup
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 onion, diced
2 1/2 tablespoons brown rice flour
1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk
2 1/2 cups water
1 chicken concentrate (I used 1 packet from trader joes but you could substitue some of the water for broth)
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 small potatoes, peeled and diced
1 celery stalk, diced
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon tarragon (i didn't have tarragon so I did 1/4 more oregano)
salt
pepper

Directions:
In large pot, melt butter. Sautee onion for about 3 minutes until starting to soften. Sprinkle in flour and stir to incorporate and make a paste. Cook 1-2 minutes. Raise temperature to medium high and slowly whisk in water using 1/2 cup increments. After each addition of water, whisk and wait for it to bubble and thicken. Continue this process until all water has been incorporated and you have a thick soup base. Reduce temperature and add in all vegetables and seasonings. Stir and cover. Cook 15-25 minutes or until vegetables have softened. Stir in milk and add more salt and pepper depending on preference. Serve hot.
