It’s super-easy to customize this soup to your tastes!

  • In a large sauce pot:
  • Sautee diced onion until just tender in the olive oil (2-3 minutes) over medium heat.
  • Add can of diced tomatoes. For a more tomato-based taste, puree the tomatoes in the blender or food processor for about 30 seconds to smooth.
  • Add frozen vegetables, making sure they are separated (pound lightly for about 10 seconds to break up chunks of frozen vegetables)
  • Add optional ingredients
  • Add six cups of water
  • Add salt and pepper to taste
  • Simmer on low heat for 45 minutes to an hour
  • Enjoy!
