List of Ingredients



• 1 Large bunch of Celery
  
• 2 Large Green Peppers
  
• 2 Large Yellow and/or Red Peppers
  
• 1 Large container of Mushrooms (I like Baby Portabellas)
  
• 2 Large Onions
  
• 2 Cups of Chicken Broth or (2 cups of water + 4 packets of Herb Ox Very Low Sodium Bouillon I mix 2 Beef and 2 Chicken)
  
• 3 Cans Chopped Tomatoes (Stewed, diced, whole...Your choice)
  
• 1 Tablespoon of the following Spices:
  
• Basil
  
• Thyme
  
• Cumin (3 Tbsp is what I use)
  
• Oregano
  
• Parsley
  
• Pepper
  
• Garlic Powder (could use 4 cloves of garlic)
  
• Or: 1/4 cup of Italian Seasoning, 1 Tbsp Pepper and 3 Tbsp Cumin
  






Instructions



1. Chop all Veggies to small pieces. Place in large stock pot with seasonings. Cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
   
2. Turn heat down and simmer 1-3 hours. The more you cook it the better the taste.
   
3. Original Recipe calls for putting hot soup into a blender and blending until smooth. Can be served hot or cold.
   I prefer it warmed with Turkey and Rice in it.
   
   Tastes like V-8 Juice.
