Cypriot vegetable soup is easy to cook and does not require any unusual ingredients. The only secret of its taste is fresh local vegetables.
Ingredients
Meat or chicken broth
2 potatoes
2-3 carrots
Celery: several stalks
1 zucchini
2-3 tomatoes
1 onion
Rice: ¼ cup
Lemon juice, salt, and pepper: to taste
Cooking method
Wash and chop potatoes, carrots, celery, zucchini and tomatoes. Chop an onion and make sure its amount is half as much as all other vegetables.
Bring previously cooked broth to the boil and add all the vegetables except potatoes and tomatoes. Cook until the water is boiling again, then add potatoes, tomatoes, rice, salt and pepper and simmer for another 20 minutes (until rice and potatoes are done).
Add fresh lemon juice right before serving.
