Ingredients:

Onions, raw, 1 large (remove)
Broccoli, frozen, 1 package (10 oz) (remove)
Cauliflower, frozen, cooked, 1 cup (1" pieces) (remove)
Green Peppers (bell peppers), 0.5 cup, chopped (remove)
Garlic, 5 cloves (remove)
Pepper, red or cayenne, 2 tbsp (remove)
Carrots, raw, 1 cup, chopped (remove)
Yellow Sweet Corn, Frozen, 0.5 cup kernels (remove)
Mushrooms, cooked, .5 cup pieces (remove)
*Snow Peas, fresh, 0.5 cup (remove)
Parmesan Cheese, grated, 2 tbsp (remove)
*Peppers, sweet, red, fresh, 0.5 cup, chopped (remove)
Olive Oil, 1 tbsp (remove)
Canned Tomatoes, 2 can (remove)
Directions
Put large pot on stove to medium heat
Add:
Olive oil
red pepper flakes (to taste)
garlic (to taste)
onions
Let this cook while you are cutting up the cabbage, peppers and getting items to infuse the oil and flavors.
cut up the green and red peppers -you can add Yellow as well if you like. And start throwing everything in the pot. Bag of baby carrots, frozen broccoli, cauliflower, corn, mushrooms, and snow peas (all of which you can find together in frozen foods like stir fries w/o adding the sauce)
Stir together and add two cans of diced tomatoes, you can use crushed, stewed or sauce but this is more like a stew then a soup (you can add 1 cup water if you like) I like solid food that feels and tastes hearty to help feed the appetite both mentally and physically. Bring to a boil, cover and cook until the veggies are how you like them. I like them a little crunchy so about 30mins and it's all good. HINT: instead of cutting up a big head of cabbage get a bag of the shredded cabbage they use for coleslaw works great and it's not so messy! When you are getting ready to serve add the cheese and it will add just another great flavor. You can add anything you like to this, it's very versatile and a spin -off of the "heart smart" soup they give you in hospitals but tastes alot better. Need more carbs? Add 1 cup of brown rice or whole wheat pasta. Need more protein add chicken or beef, you can even add tofu! and it's great. I eat this 3 times a day 1 cup servings. Lunch, afternoon snack and the late night munchies where you don't really need to eat but won't go to bed because you think you are hungry. It's warm and tastey and it just make you all cozy! It's healthy, perfect for all day snackage!Low carb, low salt, low sugar, heck it's even vegetarian! without the cheese it's vegan!
I affectionately call this my Diet Gruel-it's what I eat when I'm training and dieting. Keep it simple make a big pot, it feeds you all week.
