I try to make this soup as often as possible.I prepare all the ingredients before I start the pot.
1 whole onion diced
once onions become somewhat translucent add a bunch(1 or 2 tspn) of minced garlic
add a little pure water(1 cup) - let it cook a bit sprinkle in some sea salt -
add 1 or 2 14.5 oz. cans of diced tomatoes -
a little more pure water (2 cups) -
add a half of a 16 oz. bag of baby carrots diced up (use the other half next Sunday) - add a 10 oz. bag of green beans -
add a 10 oz. bag of peas -
a bunch of pure water(2 cups)
more pure water(2 cups)
drop in 3 vegan vegetable bouillon cubes
add 4 to 6 diced potatoes
Bring it all to a slow boil for as long as is "just right"! Maybe 2 to 3 1/2 hoursAbout 45 minutes before the finish add a fist full of barley(Optional)
Near finish add spices; oregano, thyme, cayenne pepper, black pepper, basil, tumeric, curry, paprika. Hey add in all these spices or whatever combo and amount you fancy. I throw them all in!!!
Hey Mike,
ReplyDeleteWill this help me lose pounds(I'm 150 want to get down to about 125-130)? This looks tasty enough to eat 3Xday.

Hi Tammy,
DeleteEating healthy will result in weight loss for sure. Especially because you replace typical carb-rich breakfast foods like bread, bagels, and bad cereals with vegetable soup or salads. You will notice those cravings for junk food in the late-morning, afternoon will weaken as you faithfully eat veggies and protein for breakfast.

Hey, Mike after yesterday you gave me your blogspot at Barnes and Nobel, I read the ingredients to your vegetable soup, what do you mean by pure water? Is it a brand or do you mean sink water?
ReplyDeleteMike, What is meant by "Pure Water" is "Spring Water" or "Purified Water". Never use tap/sink water, it's loaded with unhealthy things. You could use tap water if you filter it with a high quality filter. I use "Spring Water" that I buy at the Health Food Store.
