Vegetable Soup
"I have been making this a long time. It can't be beat. Yummy and so good for you. When I was on weight watchers I lived on this. You can put in whatever vegetables you have in the fridge, and add whatever canned ones you like. This is my basic recipe. You can use what ever vegetables you like. I like to add a little Cajun spice to my bowl."

Very good! I made this for my neibhour who recently got out of the hospital. I sauteed some onions and a bit of garlic before adding in the other ingredients, used all chicken broth in place of the water and the bouillon cubes, I simmered it for about 1-1/2 hours. Thanks Mel!...Kitten -
Very hearty! Pretty easy to fix for workers on a chilly fall day! Had it simmering and they could eat healthy and then keep working. -
I chose this recipe for its technique, which works just fine. I added some ingredients and omitted others. I ended up with a fine soup that includes four things I grew myself; comfort food doesn't get any better than that.

This is a nice basic soup recipe that leaves room for creativity. I used the veggies called for (maybe not in the quantity indicated). Instead of the bouillon, I used a soup base. Added some dried thyme, bay leaves and finely chopped jalapeno pepper. This is a great make and take lunch. It warms very well in the microwave at work and is healthy. Thanks for sharing. -
This is a really easy, fast and convenient way to pull together a vegetable soup. I omitted the tomatoes since I just do not like...I forgot the cabbage..darn, and I used frozen green beans rather than canned. I followed your suggestion and added a little cajun spice, which I liked, but DD did not :(
