Something light and fluffy

Convoluted Weekend Soup

The word weekend is in the name of this soup because I have more time to cook on the weekends and the word convoluted begins the title because I make it up as I go along. 

It is is an easy step-by-step soup making process to follow, so let’s begin.
                                                                                                                               
Step 1

Place large soup pot on the stove and pour in enough extra virgin olive oil to cover the bottom. 

Do not turn on the stove.

Next, cut up 2 medium size onions, half a bag

of celery, 3-4 medium size green peppers after removing the seeds place into the pot along with  a heaping tablespoon of garlic from  a jar including the juice.

Add 1 teaspoon of cyan pepper

Now turn the stove burner on low and let the mixture slow cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

                                                                          

                                                                                                                                            

Step 2

Before your mixture burns, pour in 2-12 ounce cans of low sodium V8 Vegetable Juice

Slice and dice 4 medium size squash

Add half a bag of shredded carrots

Add a can of black beans, drained of all liquid and rinsed

Let this mixture continue to slow cook for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Add in 1-6 ounce can of low salt Tomato Paste

Add in 2-12 ounce cans of low salt Petite Diced Tomatoes
