Vegetable Soup (Laura's)
|
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil 1 onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped (I used the garlic press) 3 stalks celery, chopped 3 carrots, chopped 1 large potato, peeled and chopped 1 zucchini, chopped 1 tablespoon tomato paste Salt and pepper 6 cups broth (I used turkey broth then some canned chicken broth. I might not have been quite this much because the pot got full) 1 19-ounce can white beans, drained (I used Kroger brand) 1 cup fresh chopped baby spinach 1 can Italian style seasoned diced tomatoes (I used Hunt's) |
Instructions: Heat the oil in a large pot over low heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the celery, carrots, and potato and cook another 2 minutes. Add the zucchini, tomato paste, salt, and pepper and cook 1 minute. Raise the heat to high. Add the broth and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, (I think I cooked it a little longer at this point to make sure all the veggies were tender) add the beans, tomatoes, and spinach and cook about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the soup is flavorful. Serve hot; can sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese just before serving. (Makes 6 to 8 servings)
Except for the potatoes, the soup freezes quite well! :) :) Laura |
