Recipe Notes

Write list…

• If you love cabbage in your vegetable soup, add about 1/2 of a head of cabbage (chopped or shredded) to the slow cooker. It looks like a lot of cabbage,

but it will cook down quite a bit.• You can stir cooked rice, pasta or barley into your soup when it’s done cooking.• Make this soup with hamburger by

adding 1 lb. of ground beef (cooked and drained) — just like my grandmother used to do in

this recipe

!• I kept this recipe really simple and traditional by seasoning the tomato-based soup with parsley, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper. If you

want to kick it up and add even more flavor, you can use any additional herbs and seasonings that you enjoy — such as oregano and basil, or a prepared

Italian seasoning blend.• To prepare this soup on the stovetop instead of in the slow cooker, heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over

medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots and celery and sauté 4 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté 1 more minute. Stir in broth, tomatoes, potatoes, zucchini,

tomato paste, parsley, bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then add green beans. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until potatoes

are almost tender, about 20 – 30 minutes. Add corn and peas and cook 5 minutes longer.• Leftover soup will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or in

the freezer for up to 3 months.• Reheat individual portions of leftover soup in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. To reheat larger quantities of soup, place

in a saucepan on the stovetop, cover, and warm over low heat just until the soup reaches the desired temperature.
