Mom's vegetable soup

This soup is so easy and so healthy and so tasty! I struggle trying to find ways to eat as many vegetables as i'm supposed to eat and finding tasty vegi recipes. This recipe fulfills both requirements. For this recipe, you can use any vegetables you have on hand.

Ingredients:
2 carrots
1 small head of brocolli
1 chopped onion
3 stalks of celery
2 tomatoes ( i used 1 regular tomato and about 10 cherry tomatoes)
half of the chicken broth package (full package is 32 fl. oz or 1 quart)
half of a cauliflower head
1/2 cup of frozen peas
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon of rice flower
1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
2/3 cups of water

1) add onions to olive oil to saute.
2) while onions are being sauteed, add rice flour and a pinch of black pepper. Saute until the onions are transparent/slightly brown and the flour has been cooked.
3) add all the vegetables and chicken stock
4) add 2/3 cups of water
5) cook on medium/high for about 5-7 mins and then cover and leave on simmer for about 20-25 mins
6) salt and pepper to taste

7) Use a hand blender to make it smooth and creamy

Serve with crackers or roasted chickpeas or potato chips. I like it with my mom's homemade chevdo (snack mix). Will do a recipe on this soon - i promise!
