Food - Veggie Soup

When there’s a chill in the air and the leaves start to change to red and gold, it’s soup season! This hot, “comfort food” meal is about as easy and delicious as it gets and you’ll have leftovers for a couple of days.

veggie tales

What I love about making vegetable soup is that you can truly add any kind of veg you have on hand and either chicken or vegetable stock. I’d say you must have some kind of onions, celery, carrots and tomatoes but other than those, you can add any type of veg to it. I’ve also added white or red beans before and orzo pasta to this particular batch.

ingredients (slice & chop any amount)

• onion

• carrots

• celery

• tomatoes (fresh or canned petite)

• potatoes

• red pepper

• zucchini

• yellow squash

• garlic

• thyme (or any other herb you like)

• 1/4 cup orzo pasta

• salt & pepper to taste

• chicken or veg stock (enough to cover your veg in the pot…you can also add water if needed)

• olive oil

  Pour about a tbsp of olive oil into large pot on medium high

  saute onions, celery & carrots for a few minutes until they begin to tender

  add all other ingredients and bring to a boil, then simmer for about 30 minutes or so

  check to see if potatoes and carrots are completely tender, then it’s done

  enjoy with crackers, bread or your favorite sandwich!
