Scallion Soup

I should have put a candle in it! Happy 1st birthday, Vegetarianized!

It's the one year anniversary of Vegetarianized! In celebration I made Scallion Soup - not exactly the dish you think about when you want to party, but still a nice, light spring soup. And the scallions are from my garden. I finally harvested all my scallions after nearly six months of growing over the winter. Some were as large as leeks! Enjoy the silly pictures of my excitement over the harvest and happy birthday Vegetarianized!

1 Tbsp EVOO

1 potato, sliced thinly

6 cups vegetable stock

1/2 cup soy milk

Once the liquid comes to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until potatoes start to fall apart, about 35-40 minutes.
