Here’s another migration from my old blog, and another healthy soup to keep you warm! This month has been bitter cold, I don’t know about you but all I want to do is sit around with a bowl of soup and a warm blanket. Here is a hearty inexpensive soup for you to try!
This soup has kind of been a trial and error dish developed over the last few months. Growing up my mom never used recipes, so every time I ask her how to make something I get the same answer “I don’t know I use whatever I have,” which for a long time I replied, “Mom, I keep trying but everything I make tastes like crap.” Well I am starting to get the hang of it. I started out with just veggies, but decided to add some ground turkey for a heartier meal. Here’s my basic vegetable soup recipe.
Vegetable Soup
- Browned Ground Turkey (Optional – you can also use ground beef – I use ground turkey for everything though, it’s healthier)
- 1 Can Corn
- 1 Can Green Beens
- 1/2 head of Cabbage Chopped up
- 1 Large Can of Tomatoes
- 1 Container Vegetable Stock
- 3-6 chopped carrots
- 1/2 onion chopped
- Oregano to Taste (I use a LOT so I can cut down on salt)
- Garlic (optional)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- I rinse out all of the above cans with a little water and throw that in too.
- Let it simmer for 45 min- 2 hours. Stir Occasionally.
This soup tastes amazing it is sweet and savory, and perfect on a warm winter night. Feel Free to experiment with other vegetables. I throw in whatever is in my fridge and needs eaten. One day I will try with all fresh vegetables, right now on a budget these are things I generally have at home. This is a very healthy and hearty soup this recipe as listed could feed a good sized family for under $10.00.
Please let me know what additions you make and how they turn out!
Look Mom, I Nailed it!
