Add Phase 1 vegetables, tomatoes, paste, salt, pepper. Will be very thick, but water in veggies will thin it out as it cooks. Cook 1 hour, stirring occasionally

Add Phase II vegetables. Cook 1 hour, stirring occasionallyAdd Phase III vegetables and basil. ½ - 1 hour or until all veggies are tender but not too mushy.

Serve alone, over pasta, rice, or spaghetti squash.

Freezes well.
