• 4 – 32 oz chicken broth
  

  Great way to use up fresh veggies!

• 1 – 15 oz tomato sauce
• 1 stick butter
• ½ onion, diced
• ½ c celery, diced
• 1 ½ c carrots, diced
• 1 small zucchini, diced
• ¾ c cauliflower, chopped
• 1 ½ c broccoli, chopped
• 2 medium potatoes, diced
• 2 c green beans, chopped
• 2 ears of corn, removed from cob
• 2 c small sea shell pasta
  

  The remaining ingredients

• Couple pinches of salt
• Pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

In a large pot, melt butter. Cook onions, celery and carrots until onions are translucent. Add chicken broth & remaining veggies (zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, green beans & corn) and stir well. Add salt, pepper, soy sauce, Worcestershire & tomato sauce and stir well. Simmer on medium-low heat for approximately 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Lastly, add pasta and continue to simmer about 15 minutes longer until pasta is al dente.

*This makes a LOT of soup (approximately 18 servings). Great to freeze for easy, quick future meals.

*This could easily be adapted to suit your tastes with or without any of the veggies I’ve used or those of your own choosing. I’ve used all fresh veggies but you could substitute frozen or canned, if needed. Also, you could add chicken or beef to make it an even hardier meal. To make it a ‘true’ vegetarian meal – use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
