Recipe: Midge's Hearty Vegetable Soup

By Barbara Baez @BarbaraMBaez · On November 16, 2011

During the fall and winter months, we are always looking for a tasty, hearty soup to fill us up and keep us warm! This is one of my favorites. I use this soup as a way to sneak extra vegetables into my and my family’s meals. Add in whatever veggies you like best!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cloves of fresh garlic (sliced and cut in half)
  • 6-8 celery stalks (cut in chunks)
  • 6-7 whole carrots (cut in chunks)
  • 6-8 oz. mushrooms (sliced or chunked)
  • 1.5-2 cups of fresh baby spinach
  • 16 oz. can pinto beans
  • 2 tsp. of oregano
  • 2 tsp. of basil
  • 2 tsp. of parsley
  • pepper (as much as you would like)
  • 4-5 14.5 oz. cans of low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes
  • 1.5 cups of whole grain pasta (penne, rotini, or whatever you like)

Directions:

1. Heat pot with spray olive oil.

2. Add garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often.

3. Add all vegetables. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring a few times.

4. Add beans.

5. Add all spices.

6. Add chicken broth and crushed tomatoes.

7. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Keep covered.

8. Add pasta and cook for 8-10 more minutes, depending on how firm you like your pasta.

Tips:

  • You can add/remove any vegetables you like. Make it your own and use your favorites.
  • If you like your soup thinner, add more chicken broth.
  • Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top, if you like.
  • Add grilled chicken breast for extra protein.

Try it and let me know what you think!
