Vegan veggie and potato soup

INGREDIENTS:
1 C sweet potato chopped and steamed (8oz)
1 C white potato chopped and steamed (8oz)
1/2 large onion diced (about 1 Cup)
1 C chopped celery
6 green onions chopped
1 C chopped bok choy
1 C spinich
1 vegan bullion cube
1 tsp crushed Garlic
4 C unsweetened almond milk (or soy if you prefer soy)
1 C water and 1 tbs warm water

 DIRECTIONS: 
First you want to chop and steam your potatoes, 8oz of white and 8oz of sweet.
While the potatoes are steaming, in a sauce pan (which I sprayed with a little non stick cooking spray since mom is avoiding oil)  Sautee the onion, celery, bok choy and crushed garlic for a couple minuted until the onions are nice and soft.  add the tablespoon of warm water to the bullion cube to disolve the cube and then add to sauce pan.  Add spinich and then cook for another minute.  Add almond milk, remaining cup of water, and then potatoes.  let simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes.  Soup won't be very thick, but if you're like up and want it thicker, blend half the soup in a blender, or vitamix, and then add back to the soup.  You may need to add salt for taste, but we were avoiding salt for health reasons.  Let cool and enjoy with topping of your choice.

Yummy!  enjoy a bowl.
