NO-CHICKEN SOUP
This is my "trademark" recipe--I make it every single week! It is so rich and flavorful I like it more than "traditional" chicken soup. Although the secret ingredient--sassafras--isn't essential, it deepens the flavor. Powdered sassafras leaves can be found in supermarkets in the spice section. It's also called "fil'e" or "gumbo fil'e." If your market has a "Cajun" or "Creole" section, you might be able to find it there too. It's a classic Cajun seasoning, but it's also good in just about everything.

Steps:
- Warm oil in a soup pot large enough to hold 10 cups over medium heat.
- Saute onion until golden brown.
- Add all other ingredients.
- Simmer over low heat until reduced by about 1/4. (For me that usually takes about 2 hours). If the soup reduces too quickly before the vegetables are cooked, add a little water and continue cooking.
- You may also put all the ingredients in a crock pot and cook the soup on low for about 6 hours and high for about 3 (very approximate times!).
- Correct the seasoning--add sassafras and/or fresh black pepper if you like.
- This soup is excellent served with cooked egg noodles or garlic-flavored bagel chips.
