Giving a big shout out to Paintman. I tried making a Winter Veg soup last night. I didn't have a recipe or anything, just the brief description of it and a quick internet search for what is and isn't a Winter vegetable. It had chicken, rice, leeks, parsnips, kale and mustard greens seasoned with fresh chopped rosemary, thyme, kosher salt and lemon pepper. My son added some crushed red pepper because he wanted some more spicy heat. Based on feedback from the family it was really good for a first attempt and each had some suggestions for way to improve it for next time.
So thanks to Paintman I have a new soup being added to my repertoire of home made soups and stews!
