  • Notes:

    This can be totally fat-free, or if you choose to start the garlic and onions in a bit of olive oil, it will add a little fat (polyunsaturated). Be careful to taste before adding salt, the bouillon cubes will be enough. If fat isn't a problem, lean bacon or ham make this soup good. Serve with garlic toast and sprinkle with FRESH GRATED PARMESAN CHEESE.

Ingredients:

  1. - fresh garlic
  2. - green onions
  3. - diced potatoes
  4. - sliced carrots
  5. - diced celery
  6. - shredded cabbage
  7. - green beans (flat Italian type are pretty)
  8. - sliced stewed tomatoes
  9. - red kidney beans
  10. - English peas (frozen work best)
  11. - fresh zucchini
  12. - stock
  13. - salt
  14. - pepper
  15. 1 teaspoons - basil dried
  16. 1 teaspoons - thyme dried
  17. - small shell pasta

Directions:

In a heavy stock pot start fresh vegetables in order. Stir until vegetables look wilted, then add stock. Use 1 bouillon cube (beef or chicken) per 1 cup of water. It will probably take 6-8 cups of water to make enough stock. Season with salt, pepper, basil, and thyme. When the fresh vegetables have cooked almost tender in the stock, add the canned/frozen vegetables. Do not drain canned vegetables. Add pasta about 20-30 minutes before serving.
