The ingredients for Vegetable Soup Veggies are:

Carrots, 550 gm (4-6 small)
Celery, 310 gm (one heart)
Kale, 645 gm (2 small bunches)
Mushrooms, fresh, 590 gm (I use white and baby portabella)
Onions, sweet, 387 gm (one large)
Zucchini, 602 gm (about 4)
Yellow, orange and red Peppers, 940 gm (2 each)
Rienzi Diced Tomatoes in Puree, 800 gram can
Tutorosso Diced tomatoes, 800 gram can
Better Than Bouillon Vegetable Base- Superior Touch, 3 tsp
Parsley
Bay Leaves
Water
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (optional)
Salt (optional)

Chop all veggies into spoon-sized pieces, snipping the kale leaves into shreds, discarding the larger, tough stems. Mix all in a large stock pot.

Add 4 or 5 bay leaves and a palmful of dried parsley (or equivalent fresh parsley). Add the cans of diced tomatoes after all of the vegetables have been added. Mix the vegetable bouillon in 1 cup of water to dissolve, add to the pot with additional 7 cups of water (or more, as desired).

I also add Trader Joe's Veggie Sausages to the soup and let them simmer to heat up for an extra burst of protein (not included in the nutritional content?neither is the olive oil or the salt). They are not needed for the flavor though!

Here is how you make Vegetable Soup Veggies:

Simmer over low heat for several hours until flavors are mixed and vegetables are soft. Carefully remove one veggie sausage, 2 cups of vegetables and some broth for each serving. Add one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and some salt, as desired, to each bowl to complete the dish!Makes about 10 2-cup vegetable servings (may need to add extra liquid...I like mine with very little broth!)Number of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MARYT307.
