Fresh Organic Garden Vegetable Soup

Tweet

I bought these vegetables at the organic grocery store.  Mine aren't ready yet. 

I'm not a very good cook but I do get the urge every once in awhile.

I had the urge for real vegetable soup!

I looked at several recipes on Google and then this is what I came up with.

First I barely browned 2 cloves of garlic and a medium yellow onion.  Added a little water and sautéed a couple sliced carrots.

Then added 4 cans of regular beef broth

and

all the rest of the vegetables:

1 chopped green cabbage

1 chopped zucchini

some fresh broccoli

About a quarter of a sweet red pepper

A handful of fresh spinach chopped

and one big TBSP of tomato paste.

I added pepper but no salt as there's a lot of salt in the canned beef broth!

Toward the end I added fresh basil and oregano from my garden.

I cooked it till the carrots were not crispy.

It is really quite delicious!

And healthy.

(I suppose it would be healthier with low salt broth but probably not as tasty!))

I have a lot to freeze plus meals for the next couple days.

Yum!
