Vegetable Soup ("Build it Yourself")

I am addicted to Cracker Barrel's vegetable soup, so I wanted to try my own version!  I think I am going to throw in sweet potatoes next time!

Ingredients:

• Any veggies you can put together, chopped small
•  Veggie broth and/or chicken broth, no sugar added, low sodium
• No sodium vegetable bouillon
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Cooked beans (optional)

Directions:

1.     For every cup of chopped veggies, use approximately 2 cups broth

2.    For every 2 cups broth, use 1 bouillon cube

3.    For every 2 cups broth, stir in 2 teaspoons onion powder and garlic powder

4.    Bring everything to a boil and cook until the veggies are fully cooked

5.    Allow to cool and salt to taste

Note: If you are using onions and/or fresh garlic, sauté them first in the soup pot using 1 tbsp. olive oil. Then add everything else in.

For my soup I used:

•  Cauliflower
• Celery
• Carrots
• Beans
• Green, red, and yellow peppers
• Mushrooms
• Onions
• Zucchini
• Lima beans
