I love vegetable soup, who doesn't? But canned soup just doesn't quite do it for me. I make a large pot of vegetable soup and freeze single sized portions in freezer bags. Just let it thaw in the fridge and I have instant homemade soup!
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3 white potatoes, chopped
- 1/2 yellow onion, cut into eigths
- 4 carrots, sliced
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 celery stalk, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsely, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh string beans or canned
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups water
- 3 cups canned tomato sauce
- 1 8oz can tomato paste
Preparation:
In a large saucepan, combine water, tomato sauce and paste on medium heat. Stir well to make a good soup base. Add water or more tomato sauce as desired. Add vegetables and spices.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low-medium (about 3 on an electric range). Simmer for 45 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Serve with pita bread or crackers.
