any good healthy vegatable soup recipes?

I love my vegi taco soup

Homemade vegetable soup is one of the easiest things to make, rarely requiring a recipe! As a matter of fact, quite a few recipes have been published here. Take a look at them. However, nobody reading your article knows what vegs you actually have on hand.

Your easiest bet is to dice everything you have and cook together in chicken broth. Or, you can start with a base for another broth.

Do you have bacon? Dice several slices and cook in the soup pot until you have enough fat to coat the bottom of the pan. Then stir in chopped onion, garlic, carrots and celery and cook, stirring, until browning and fragrant (but take great care not to let the garlic burn or eve get too brown--this turns it bitter!). Add water and stir in the vegs; cook 30 minutes or until all the vegs are tender.

Make early in the day or the previous day for best flavor.

What vegs do you have on hand?

Here are some of the recipes I have published here:

I hope these give you some ideas for creating your own veg soups even if you don't use the recipes directly!

Just throw everything you have together.

The ONLY thing to worry about is you don't accidentally make it too salty.

I just throw whatever I have in the pot and let it cook.

I just made a big pot of veg. soup yesterday. I throw all of mine in a pot, with some cabbage and I like to add a little mac. not to much as the mac , will soak up your broth. I flavor it with what ever I have on hand. SOmetimes, I use hamburger, stewing beef needs to be cooked for awhile as it seems to be tough, I have even used country ham broth, I also, dont drain any of my vegts. I use their own broth, I add tomatoes from the can and I add a big can of tomato juice for some more broth.

Ana - we have lots of soup recipes on Glorious Soup! ( on Gather) - do check it out! I'll be publishing my Martha's Vegetable Soup in the next few days, if you can wait......

Thank you all. You have inspired me! I am going to check out the links you gave me as well! Thanks-again!

I take chicken stock and put whatever veggies I have into it, making sure I have onions and garlic of course! After boiling in the stock for a while, I then put it into the blender and make a nice creamy soup. If it's a special occasion, I may put a little cream in. If it needs thickening, I might put in some potato flakes or potato pearls. It's always a hit!

That really sounds good David S.
