veggie soup - not quite like mom's
i decided last week to make my mom's vegetable soup. it's really hearty (moreso than i made mine), and usually cheers me up. so, here's a simple recipe for mine. she usually just throws in whatever is on hand (i did for mine). nala liked it, so i figured i'd better write it down.
1/2 cup chopped onion
5-6 carrots peeled and sliced (i used half a pound of baby carrots)
4 stalks of celery, diced
3 cans green beans, drained.
1/4 cup lentils
cook in enough water to cover for 1/2 hr. (simmer with lid on)
add:
3 15oz cans diced tomators
1 15oz can pinto beans
1/4 cup minute rice
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
bring to boil; simmer 10-15 min.
add salt/pep to taste; simmer 10 min.
