Delicious Garden Vegetable Soup

This Garden Vegetable Soup is now my favorite homemade soup!














And it's easy to make:














First, heat a tablespoon (20 mL) of olive oil in a large pot. Add one large thinly sliced carrot, one small diced onion, and a clove or 2 of garlic. Cook for a few minutes, until softened.

Then add:

• 3-4 cups (250 mL) of broth. (I used canned concentrated beef broth plus vegetable stock for added flavor)

• 1/2 cup (125 mL) of tomato salsa, tomato, or a tablespoon (20 mL) of tomato paste.

• 1 cup (250 mL) each of chopped cabbage and chopped spinach

• 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) - or more - each of dried basil and oregano

Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes (or longer).

If desired, add a cup (250 mL) of chopped zucchini and cook for another 5 minutes before serving.

This recipe was based on a popular Weight Watchers recipe and it's absolutely delicious!
