- Put chicken or beef instant granules into hot water, whisk to mix, needs to be strong, add to the above.
- This is the the base for the soup (If you wish,make it vegetarian, leave out the instant granules and add another can of tomato sauce).
- Add the soup ingredients to base in a stockpot.
- Bring to a boil.
- Boil 5 minutes.
- Turn to low simmer for 1 hour.
- If desired, pre-cooked pasta or rice may also be added.
- Note: Do not add salt without tasting, there is enough in cans.
- Note: Quantities are whatever you want, you can use 6 cans or 12 cans or pounds and pounds of fresh veggies, all fresh or all canned, or both combined, just about any kind of veggies.
- Always keep the veggies chunky, they look better and don't cook away.
- Left over cooked veggies can be used, make base and add precooked veggies, do not boil, warm up only.
- The stewed and canned whole tomatoes, sauce and V8 form the base with the beef or chicken broth.
- If you increase/decrease the veggie quantities you must increase/decrease the base quantities accordingly.
