• 1 or 2 large cans crushed tomatoes (I use fresh tomatoes because I don’t like canned tomatoes and I really like the taste of fresh tomatoes)
• 6 large green onions – chopped
• l large can beef or chicken broth – sodium reduced – or use home made
• 1 package vegetable soup mix dry (knorr is good)
• 2 green peppers (you can buy fozen mixed peppers that work just as well – less work)
• 2 lbs carrots chopped (I use baby carrots because they are easy)
• 1 bunch celery chopped
• 2 can green beans (or you can use 1 can yellow and 1 can green)
• Season – boil everything for 10 then simmer until vegetables are tender.

1. You can add other vegetables if you like (I’ve used turnip and parsnip). I’ve also added cooked lentils for a more hearty soup ( they are also a source of protein).
2. This soup tastes great. I find it get a bit mushy in the fridge after 4 or 5 days, but it freezes very well. Put 1 portion in a glass jar, and just defrost it whenever you want a quick meal.
