Hearty Vegetable Soup

 

When I’m craving for something nice and warm, soup comes to mind. Now, a hearty vegetable soup is not only healthy, it somehow comforts you like a warm blanket in December.

I made this vegetable soup with ingredients available in the fridge and the cupboard.I’m not fond of measuring ingredients,most of the time I eyeball them and I go by the taste.

Ingredients:
1 Garlic, minced
1  small Onion, chopped
1 tsp vegetable oil
1- 2 Carrots, diced
1 Potato, diced
100 g Beans, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 cup Tomato Sauce
1 Chicken broth cubes
3-4 cups water
dried Basil
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

• Heat a small pot.Sauté garlic and onion.
• Add water and half of the tomato sauce and let it simmer.
• Add potatoes and carrots.When it’s cooked add beans.
• Add salt and pepper and the rest of the tomato sauce.
• Let it simmer for a minute then add a pinch of dried Basil.
• Serve with toast…
