5 c Vegetable broth (water is

Fine, but Not as tasty) 1 c Tomato or vegetable juice

1 c Peeled tomatoes, cut in

sm Pieces 1 c Carrots, chopped

1 c Green beans or yellow wax

Beans 1 c Onions, finely chopped

1 c Zucchin or yellow squash,

Thinly sliced 1 c Leek, chopped

2 c Unpeeled red potatoes,

Diced 1 Cheesecloth bag of fresh

Erbs of choice (parsley, basil, etc.) 2 t Salt

Bring liquid to boil in a deep soup kettle. Add all vegetables and seasonings. Turn down heat to simmer and partially cover the pot. Simmer until vegetables are tender. Serve hot with crusty whole wheat bread and a light fruit dessert. Variation: Almost any vegetable but onions, tomatoes, and the potatoes can be substituted for another vegetable. Don`t use the cabbage family because the flavor is too radically changed. Green peas and baby lima beans are a great addition, as is 1/2 cup of corn kernels.
