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.

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.

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

    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

    This was very yummy! Though I did add a bit of cayenne pepper to spice it up a bit. - 2/11/09

    This was good. Even my son ate it happily. I only used 1 tsp of pepper, though... - 12/31/08
