FULL OF FIBER VEGATABLE SOUP....THIS IS A DELICIOUS RECEIPE AND IT IS FULL OF HEALTHY, TOLERABLE, FIBER., THE WAY IT IS MADE MAKES THE FIBER VERY TOLERABLE TO OUR COLONS. I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT. IT COMES OUT THICK MORE LIKE A STEW, PUT ITALIAN BREAD AND A SALAD WITH IT ,BUT EAT THE SALAD AT THE END OF THE MEAL, AND IT IS A DELICIOUS MEAL. THIS RECEIPE IS GENTLE ON YOUR COLON AND GIVES US THE FIBER WE REALLY NEED.

VEGATABLES NEEDED: 8 CARROTS, 4ZUCCHINI, 2 SQUASH, 7 MEDIUM POTATOES, 1 POUND OF STRING BEANS, 5 ONIONS, 4 GLOVES OF GARLIC, 1 CAN OF FRESH PEAS (OPTIONAL), 6 STALKS OF CELERY, 2 CANS OF NORTHERN BEANS, RINSED AND DRAINED AND 1 CAN OF STEWED TOMATO, 2 TSP OF OREGANO, 2 TSP OF BASIL, 2 TSP OF THYME, (CAN USE FRESH OR DRIED), SALT AND PEPPER TO TASTE,2 CUPS OF FAT FREE VEGATABLE BROTH (CANNED OR FRESH)AN 4 CUPS OF WATER.

PUT BROTH AND WATER IN STOCK POT, PEEL AND CUT IN CHUNKS ALL THE VEGS. LEAVE THE GARLIC GLOVES WHOLE AND ADD THEM ALL TO THE BROTH AND WATER, COOK COVERED ON MED. TILL ALL THE VEGGIES ARE SOFT. WHILE THAT IS COOKING IN A SEPARATE SAUCEPAN, COOK BEANS (AFTER YOU DRAIN AND RINSE) AND CAN OF STEWED TOMATO , OREGANO, BASIL AND THYME, AND BRING TO BOIL. LOWER HEAT ON IT AND USE AN IMMERSION BLENDER OR PROCESSOR AND PUREE THE BEANS AND STEWED TOMATO, TILL COMPLETELY PUREED. PUT ASIDE. WHEN POT OF VEGATABLES ARE ALL SOFT AND TENDER PUREE THAT WITH THE EMMERSION BLENDER OR PROCESSOR. THEN ADD THE PUREED BEAN MIXTURE TO THE VEGATABLES AND STIR AND BLEND AND THEN COOK ON SIMMER ANOTHER 1/2 HOUR. WHILE THAT IS SIMMERING, I LIKE TO STEAM EXTRA VEGATABLES SUCH AS CARROTS, STRING BEANS, POTATO'S AND WHEN THEY ARE TENDER, I ADD THEM TO THE SOUP, WHICH MAKES IT TASTE MORE LIKE A STEW. IT IS THICK , AND THE ADDED WHOLE VEGATABLES MAKE IT DELICIOUS. THIS RECEIPE MAKES ENOUGH TO FEED 8 PEOPLE AND IT FREEZES GREAT FOR UP TO THREE MONTHS, FOR THOSE QUICK NEEDED MEALS. I LOVE THIS AND I KNOW YOU WILL TOO. IT DOESN'T HURT MY COLON AND KEEPS EVERYTHING RUNNING REGULARLY, AS GOOD FIBER DOES... YOU CAN EVEN ADD ELBOW MACARONI IF YOU WANT, BUT YOU DON'T REALLY NEED IT , IT IS GREAT JUST TE WAY IT IS WITH ALL THE VEGATABLES...ENJOY....ADVANTAGELEE
