Gagi & Hootie's Vegetable Soup

Gagi is in charge of the ingredients, and Hootie cuts up the vegetables.
But they both cry when the onion is being diced.

2 cans vegetarian broth
Lots of baby carrots cut in pieces
1 giant red onion-diced
1 celery heart bunch-chopped
1 large baking potato-diced
1 pack frozen diced spinach
4 oz frozen corn
1 fresh green pepper
1 can black beans or garbanzo beans

Or any vegetables that you have on hand or would prefer to use are fine, such as zucchini or leeks. And the potatoes may be replaced with rice or pasta.

Use a large stock pot and heat up a small amount of olive oil. Add the onion and sauté. Add some spices such as black pepper, garlic powder, Mrs. Dash and a small amount of dried mustard or turmeric, according to taste.

Add the broth and all ingredients. Place lid on top and cook to a boil. Then lower to med/low heat and cook for 1 hour. Stir occasionally and test for doneness.

The recipe makes enough to share with family and friends. I love to take my Grandparents' hot soup to school in a thermos for lunch.

Yum Yum!!
