  • Number of Servings: 10
Ingredients
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 canTutorosso Diced tomatoes, 800 gram canBetter Than Bouillon Vegetable Base- Superior Touch, 3 tspParsleyBay LeavesWater 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!
Directions
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!)

    Am brand new to the site and did put the ingredients into the recipe when I entered it! Not sure where they went!! Will have to go back and look for them and see what happened; am somewhat technically-challenged, I imagine!
