This is adapted from a recipe in Jane Brody's "Good Food Book." I made some changes so it would better fit our Nutritarian eating style. I like the soup because it is a little different from many of my other recipes but still quick and easy to make. You can reduce prep time by using frozen vegetables and jarred garlic.....For each can of low sodium broth, I substitute 2 cups water, 1 tablespoon VegiZest (from drfuhrman.com) and 1/8 teaspoon salt (optional).
