vegetable soup

that tastes just like Campbell's. Only better.

veggie stock - I had Pacific. this is a totally cheating recipe, by the way.
1 can diced tomatoes
1/2 potato
1/2 yellow onion
3/4 bag frozen veggies - snap peas, baby carrots, peas and corn
3/4 can cannellini beans

saute the onion in olive oil. add the potato. then the stock and tomatoes. boil it up for a bit, get the potato soft. add veggies and beans. simmer until yr potatoes are done. eat for a week.
if you wanted you could cook off some alphabets and add them with the veggies. I cook soup pasta seperately cos if I don't it gets all starchy and feh. We all have our fetishes.

I've been trying to lay off the cheese and wheat again. yah, yah, yah, Pizza Hut personal pan drive thru not withstanding - desperate times, desperate measures - and I really do notice a difference in the guts. It's a giant pain in the ass though when you work at a restaurant that doesn't share you leanings and isn't super receptive to accomodating them. BUT

1 package frozen spinach
1 can artichokes
1 can chick peas
2 cloves of garlic sauteed in some olive oil
1 lemon, juiced

saute the garlic, throw everything in the food processor. you'll still miss cheese, but not as much.

ok, I love you. pk.
