How to make it:
You can use any type of tomato you like: crushed, stewed or diced, it doesn’t matter.
Use organic vegetables where possible.
Fresh or frozen, they provide a full-spectrum of vitamins, minerals, nutrients and fiber.
Tips:
Carrots, Lima beans and potatoes take a bit longer to get tender, so add them right after you add the broth and tomatoes
Add green beans, peas, corn last
For best results, let the organic vegetable soup simmer about 15-20 minutes after you add all the vegetables; this let’s the flavors develop
Don’t have vegetable broth? Use chicken or beef broth. If the broth is too strong, use a combination of broth and water.
Vegetable soup nutrition:
The nutritional value of organic vegetable soup varies, depending upon the types of veggies you put in it! This recipe is high in Vitamins A & C, as well as calcium.
A bit of naturally occuring sugars come from the carrots and corn, so if you’re watching your sugar intake, you might omit these ingredients.
Storage and reheating:
Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Freeze for up to 3 months. It may thicken a little upon storage, so you might need to add a little water when reheating.
Reheat on the stove or in the microwave.
(Note: if you add greens, they disintegrate in storage; the color of the soup will change, but it will still be safe to eat).
Variations:
Vegetables: cabbage, mushrooms, water chestnuts, okra, bell peppers, or potatoes (waxy potatoes work best such as Yukon gold; russets will deteriorate and create mush)
Legumes: frozen or canned; if canned, drain and rinse prior to incorporating
Grains: whole grain rice, barley (if you don’t have quick cooking grains or ‘instant’ rice, add more liquid, cook covered for additional 10-15 minutes)
Greens; spinach, kale (add at the very end of cooking time)
A quick cup of homemade organic vegetable soup discourages binge or over-eating and gives the body and brain the nutritional power necessary to keep up with a busy lifestyle!
Your brain, waistline and blood pressure will thank you. It’s a win-win situation.
