Smooth veggie soup

This is what we had for dinner and it was delicious. My children loved it and asked for seconds and thirds! We loved it! It was inspired by a recipe someone else read to me, but I didn't have it written down, so here is what it was:

2 onions chopped with 2-4 TBS olive oil
12 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup of celery (I think I was pretty generous, I probably used 1 1/2 cups) chopped
1 1/2 cups carrots, chopped
2 cups cauliflower, chopped
1 1/2 cups asparagus, chopped
1 fennel bulb, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
juice of one lemon (about 4-5 TBS lemon juice)


Put the onions and oil in and cook until onions are translucent. Then add the broth and other veggies. I just started with the onions and chopped everything and added it, I didn't add them all at the same time. I also added to one blenderful about 1/4 cup flour to help thicken it and then mixed it all together. When they are all soft put into the blender and blend until smooth. My blender holds 8 cups and I had to fill it 2 1/2 times.
