Rich Tomato Vegetable Soup to Keep You Warm and Keep Away the Munchies
Don’t get discouraged by the list of ingredients! All these tastes mix together just right. I estimate that you can get the vegetables chopped and ready in about 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 cans diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 small head broccoli diced
- 1 celery stalk diced
- 4 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 bunch Kale stems removed and leaves chopped
- 4 c vegetable broth
- 4 c chicken stock If vegetarian, add 4 additional cups of vegetable broth instead of the chicken stock
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup plus one can water
- 1 pkt onion soup mix
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- salt to taste
- water to make 4 quarts soup
Instructions
-
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in the bottom of 6 quart heavy stock pot over medium high heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until onions start to brown and get tender, about 5 minutes. At minute number 4, add the garlic and sauté.
-
Reduce heat to medium and add all the additional ingredients: broccoli, celery, carrots, kale, cream of mushroom soup, vegetable broth, chicken stock, onion soup mix, pepper and add salt to taste.
-
Bring soup to a boil, reduce to simmer and let it continue simmering for about an hour. The whole house will smell good and the soup tastes delicious.
Recipe Notes
