Coach Nicole's Cold Weather Vegi Stew

Submitted by: COACH_NICOLE
Coach Nicole's Cold Weather Vegi Stew

Introduction

I love making this soup throughout the fall and winter. It's filling, healthy and stores well. Perfect with a grilled cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread.

Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    2 Tbsp olive oil
    1 can (28 oz) diced or crushed tomatoes
    6 cups filtered water
    3-5 large carrots, chopped into 1/2 inch chunks
    1.5 cups Bob's Red Mill Vegi Soup Mix*
    1.5 Tbsp dried basil
    1.5 Tbsp dried oregano
    1 tsp salt
    2 tsp black pepper
    8-10 oz. frozen spinach

    *Bob's Red Mill Vegi Soup mix can be found in many natural foods stores, in the soup aisle, or at BobsRedMill.com. This mix contains green split peas, yellow split peas, barley, lentils and vegetable pasta.

Directions

Heat oil in a large pot on medium heat.
Add onion and garlic, cook until onion is transluscent, about 5 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients (except spinach) to the pot and bring to a low boil.
Simmer, covered, for one hour, stirring occasionally. Add frozen spinach during last 10 minutes of cooking.

Adjust seasoning to taste--almost any combination of your favorite seasonings will work well in this soup. Refrigerate, covered, for about a week. This soup also freezes well. When reheating, add a little more water to reach desired consistency.

    This sounds yummy with one problem: I would not be able to have the pasta in it. That adds too many calories to it! So instead of a soup mix with pasta, use the mixed dried bean packaets sold in regular stores. - 11/16/07

    You can buy Bobs Red Mill mixes in Canada- at least in Alberta and BC. I see them in my local food market all the time. This sounds delish. - 11/11/08

    For those who can't have pasta. Add spaghetti squash. It gives you the feeling of having past without the calories. - 4/19/08

    I am making this tonight! I am a big fan of Bob's Red Mill products and I have made his soup, and the additions to it sound wonderful! I think I will substitute fresh baby spinich for the frozen though and add it the last 2 or 3 minutes of cooking! - 11/15/07

    mmmm delicious and easy to make! to make it extra healthy, omit the oil completely and just dry saute. you don't need a non-stick pan, just add the onions and garlic to a dry pot and add water one tbsp at a time if they start sticking :) - 3/13/12

    I'd want to add cabbage to this (I love cabbage). Do you think I should add it in addition to the spinach or as a replacement? - 9/15/11

    It was very good but I couldn't find the Bob Mills soup mix. I made it without it and added green beens (10), fresh corn (two ears cleaned from cob) and a pinch of cayne (sp) pepper. - 7/22/11

    So good! Super easy, and super filling. It does make a *TON* of soup, but it freezes well. Will definitely make this again ... in a month when I run out of this batch! - 1/10/11
