Instructions

Heat the fat in the bottom of a large soup pot and add salt and onions. Cook on medium/low heat and sweat the onions for about 15 minutes, checking and stirring often. Adjust heat as necessary. Add ginger and continue cooking. Add diced root vegetables slowly, stirring with each addition. Add the white part or stems of the greens and stir.

Add the broth, leafy greens and seasoning and simmer until just done, about 15 minutes. 

Flavor balance with up to one lemon's worth of juice, salt and pepper.  (Recipe #742)
