"Wanting something a bit spicy to accompany penne afredo for a summer dinner, I came up with this flavor packed soup. I made it entirely with assorted vegetables from my freezer and 2 cans of diced tomatoes I had on hand, but fresh veggies from the garden would be even more delicious!"

Yields:: 1 cup servings
Serves:: 8-10

ingredients

1 large zucchini, chopped
2 celery ribs, 1/4 inch slices
1 medium red onion, diced
2 bell peppers, diced (I used a mix of green, red, yellow and orange( 1/2 each)
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
29 ounces canned diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon mrs dash's extra spicy seasoning mix
1 teaspoon mrs dash's italian medley seasoning
¹⁄₂ teaspoon johnny's seasoning salt
¹⁄₂ - ³⁄₄ cup water

directions

In stockpot at medium high heat, combine all vegetables and drizzle with oil.
As vegetables being to warm, sprinkle with seasonings and stir to combine.
Bring to simmer, adding as much water as seems appropriate to keep vegetables from sticking (mixture should NOT be soup-y).
Let simmer for ~10 minutes.
Remove from heat and let mixture cool somewhat.
Process in small batches in food processor or blender to desired consistency-- I left mine a bit chunky since I liked seeing all the colors.
Let cool to room temperature to serve, or chill for 90+minutes. Stir before serving.
Enjoy!
Note: Cooking time includes the chilling time; actual cooking time is under 30 minutes.

I love to cook.  I love to read.  I love learning about different cultures and other parts of the world.  Reading cookbooks and recipes from anywhere is an EASY way for me to pass an afternoon (or more).  My 3 sons all inherited my love of reading and 2 of them are pretty handy in the kitchen, too.  Child #4-- a special needs daughter-- is the one I can count on to try anything new, so she keeps me smiling when the rest of our household hasn't responded quite so positively to my adventures in cooking!
