Vegetable Soup

Vegetable Soup is very easy and versatile. You can even start with the leftover Tomato Soup from yesterday and make a fabulous new soup. So here goes....

Vegetable Soup recipe is as follows:

In a large stock pot add 2 qts. water and either 1/2 qt. leftover tomato soup, 1/2 qt. salsa or 1/2 qt. crushed tomatoes, stewed tomatoes or tomato sauce. add 2 T. beef  base, 1 small can garbanzo beans, 1 small can black beans or 1 can pork and beans (drain beans before adding to soup), 1 bag mixed frozen vegetables or any frozen bag of vegetables in your freezer, 3 c. fresh baby spinach leaves, 1T. garlic powder, 1T. cumin, 1 t. black pepper, 2 t. salt, 1T. onion powder, 1T. Italian seasonings or basil. Heat and serve. So easy and very delicious. Add more salt and pepper according to your taste buds.

This soup can be made into so many different types of vegetable soup, you can add beef, chicken or turkey, add or eliminate any vegetables you prefer, add or eliminate any beans you like as well. You will start to see from my blog posts that my soups are similar, flavors will vary, effort is so easy, so enjoy experimenting and making each of my soups your own. Happy cooking.
