I know you asked this months ago, but I just found it and I have a favorite soup to add.
It’s super easy, you could add fresh veggies instead of the canned, it just takes longer to cook that’s all.
1 can (32oz or something like that) Tomato Juice – Lower Sodium if you can find it
Fresh:
Onions 1–2 medium (in my opinion the more the better)
Celery – 2–3 stalks
Red Potatoes – about 5–6 good size ones depending on how much you like them
Canned: (1 regular size can each)
Carrots (No Salt Added)
Corn (No Salt Added)
Green Beans (No Salt Added)
Diced Tomatos (No Salt Added)
(You could add other veggies as you see fit, fresh and canned)
Salt/Pepper to taste
Italian Seasoning to taste
Fresh/dried Parsley to taste
Splash of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Grab a big pot and put the olive oil in the pan. You’ll need enough so that your first veggies don’t stick but not too much. Add your onions and celery and cook until onions are tender. Then add everything else except the pepper, spices, and parsley. Bring the pot up to a boil and then turn down the heat so that it’s simmering. Because most of your veggies are from the can they are already soft, so you’ll just need to cook it until the potatoes are done enough for you. I would say this will take you about half an hour to 45 minutes. I like to add the spices later on in the cooking process that way all the veggies have had some time to intermingle and you can taste where you’re at and determine what to add.
We like to eat this with fresh Italian bread.
