This is so easy, delicious and healthy. I personally like my soup to be a little more chunky than brothy but you can adjust accordingly.
Ingredients:
1 small onion, chopped
1 tbsp minced garlic
3 small or 1 large sweet potatoes
1 yellow squash, diced
1 zucchini squash, diced
6 celery stalks chopped
6 large carrots peeled and chopped
3/4 cup of the Trader Joe's Harvest Grain blend (or any quinoa/orzo/small grain blend)
1 carton of Vegetable broth
1 can diced tomatoes
1 tbsp of Herbs de Provence (thyme, oregano, basil)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions:
1. You can chop in order or ingredients. In a large pot or dutch oven heat a bit of olive oil and put in your onion and garlic. Saute for a few minutes.
2. Add in your sweet potatoes and stir around.
3. Add in your Squashes and let cook with the lid on for about 3-5 minutes.
4. Add in the carton of Vegetable broth and keep on medium heat, once it starts to boil ad in the carrots and celery, a little salt and pepper. I let this sit for about 10 minutes bubbling.
5. Add in the can of diced tomatoes and tbsp of Herbs de Povence, and the 3/4 cup of grain blend.
6. Let is simmer for an hour or so, I always think the longer the better!
For a meatier option you could add shredded rotisserie chicken or steak.
Enjoy!
