| Amanda's All Vegetable Soup |
by Amanda FormaroSome days, we just skip the heavy meat meal in our house. A soup chock full of vegetables and beans is a wonderful treat for everyone! Try this very easy recipe and you'll be hooked too. Amanda's All Vegetable Soup 6-15 oz cans vegetable broth 1-15 oz can diced tomatoes 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced 1 tbsp. dried basil 1 bunch of brocolli flowerets 1-10 oz bag frozen mixed vegetables 1-15 oz can sweet corn, drained 1-15 oz can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained 1-15 oz can great white northern or canelli beans, rinsed and drained water (enough to cover vegetables in addition to the broth) salt & pepper to taste any extra vegetables you can fit or want! (optional) In a dutch oven, combine vegetable broth, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, and basil. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Increase heat to medium, add remaining ingredients and cook for 20-30 minutes more or until all vegetables are tender. Serve with crackers and/or fresh bread. Note: For a texture similar to stew, reduce the amount of water you add. To freeze leftovers, put soup in a gallon freezer bag. Lay flat on freezer floor until frozen. Once frozen, this can be easily picked up and stacked with other freezer foods. This soup also makes a great base for meat soups. Simply add more broth and meat.
