Ingredients

    1 small onion (can use a small bunch of green onion)
    2-3 cloves garlic

    6C water (can mix with broth, adds more salt content)
    4C Frozen mixed vegetables of your choice
    1/2C Edemame' (or to liking)
    1C Kale
    1 can 50% Less Sodium kidney beans

    1 jar spagettii sauce (my favorite is a chuncky garden blend)
    1/8t cayenne or to taste ( 1/8t if you want a warm kick. Remember it gets hotter the longer it cooks or sits.)

Tips

I have used the California and Normandy Blend frozen vegetables, as well as the frozen vegetable soup blends. I avoid blends with potatoes, but that is a personal choice with the tomatoe sauce base. I have included edemame' and kale for their phytonutrient value which has been reported to combat fat cell storage, but all vegetable combinations are optional. This soup freezes well in individual portions.


Directions

Lightly saute' onion and garlic in large pan or stockpot. Add Water and bring to boil. Add Frozen vegetables and follow pkg. cooking time directions (about 14min). Add Edemame' and chopped Kale and follow Edemame' pkg (about 6min). cooking time directions. Add kidney beans and spagettii sauce and bring to boil. Add cayenne to taste.

Eat now for al dente vegetables and lighter soup. Cook for up to two hours for a richer taste (add water as necessary).
