I admit it - I love soup. I could eat it even on hot days. I could eat it three meals a day. I often have soup for breakfast. Strange, I know. I get that a lot.

So today - it’s coldish and raining. The rain droplets feel cold on my face. All I can think about is how I want soup. I have some mushroom soup and tomato soup in the fridge and I think that sounds like a very pleasant snack.

My favorite soup is Avgolemono - or Greek Egg and Lemon Soup. But I also love Vegetable Soup because it’s easy to make and I always have the ingredients on hand.

Simple Veggie Soup

Just add the following to a soup pot. Bring to a boil and then simmer on low for 45 minutes.

1 can crushed or diced tomatoes

Water (I just fill the tomato can after I put the tomatoes in a pot)

4-6 cups of broth (I use beef or chicken)

Chopped veggies (about 4 cups) like carrots, celerey, onions, brussels sprouts, broccoli, etc

If I decide to add past, I add it after I simmer the soup for 45 minutes and then let the soup cook for another ten minutes until the past is tender. You can also add kidney beans or chickpeas or other legume. I use the canned version and add it with the vegetables.
