Ingredients:

1 medium onion, diced

1 cup of diced bell pepper

4 garlic cloves

1 cup of lightly chopped celery

1 cup of chopped carrots

1 cup of corn

1 can of diced tomatoes

1 medium russet potato, cubed

1 cup of frozen green beans

2-3 cups of bok choy

3- 4 cups of beef broth

3-4 cups of vegetable juice cocktail (V8 or something similar)

3-4 cups of water

1 1/2 TBSP of salt

1 TBSP of pepper

red pepper

basil

oregano

2 cups of ditalini pasta

Steps:

1. Saute onion, bell pepper, and garlic in a little bit of olive oil. Sprinkle with a little bit of salt and pepper.

2. Add can of diced tomatoes, beef broth, water, V8, all veggies, and spices.

3. Bring to a boil and then let it simmer for 30 minutes.

4. Cook pasta.

5. Add pasta and let simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Edit to add- If I made it again, I would not add the pasta. I would have pasta on the side that people could add if they wanted to. The pasta did not freeze well in the soup is why I would not add it again. Also, the next day- it had soaked up a lot of the liquid.

Vegetable soup is so easy. You can chose whatever vegetables you want to and add them in. You don't have to put all of these vegetables. I just had them so I put them. I almost added broccoli, but decided not to. I hadn't planned on adding the noodles, but decided to at the last minute. Soup is easy like that- add a little of whatever you want.

This recipe makes a lot of soup and is low in calories. It has lots of vitamins and nutrients.
