1/2 C sliced celery
1/2 C chopped onion
2 Tbsp parsley - chopped
1 tsp dried basil / freeze dried herbs

Quanitites can vary to taste - modify calories accordingly - water / vegetable broth makes a vegetarian dish. (with water reduce 30 calories in totals)

Put all ingredients in a saucepan - bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer 45 minutes

I have frozen this recipe in individual servings for a quick meal at a later time.
