Decadent Veggie Soup

"Veggie Soup is usually not thought of as decadent, but this one is so rich, flavorful, and delectable that the name is perfect! This is a wonderful, healthy, filling, low-cal, and savory veggie soup, one that is perfect for the South Beach Diet (or any other low carb diet). I like to make up a big batch on the weekend, and then freeze some for both one weeknight dinner and a lunch or two during the week. I have a pot simmering right now, and I can't wait to dig into it. This recipe was found on a South Beach Recipe Site, and then slighly modifed by me, in an effort to perfect it to our preferance. Feel free to experiment with the spices (or even the veggies) -this just happens to be the way we like it!"

  1. This was good - I loved using all the fresh veggies available right now. I used 2 chopped fresh tomatoes & a can of green chiles instead of the canned tomatoes, and I added some fresh sliced mushrooms when I added the celery. It needed about a cup more chicken broth - but I liked that it was SO full of veggies. Thank you :)

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

2007 I thought that I would edit my home page...its been over two years, so I its time to update! I have lived in beautiful New Mexico for the last few years (Albuquerque), after 20 years of living on the West Coast (San Francisco and Seattle). I love many things about New Mexico - the perfect weather, in particular; the sunsets; the open land; and the great Southwest food - but also sometimes miss the energy of bigger cities. I am a mental health therapist, who loves my work! I love to cook (a passion that I discovered after getting married). Rather than cooking a few favorites on a regular basis, I prefer to collect recipes (primarily from the Internet), and try new things often (in fact, my husband jokes that he will try a new dish that he loves and then never see it again :-)). I also love to read, write, travel, work on personal growth, and study/learn. I am a total water baby, who lives in the desert, so I love traveling to tropical locations, where I especially love to snorkle and boggie board! I am very happily married to my best friend, soulmate, partner, and greatest cheerleader and supporter, and we have three grown children, and four grandchildren (so far :-))I am a total foodie (I "live to eat" instead of "eat to live.") :-) I love everything about food...cooking; the delicious scents of a yummy dish, as it cooks; the beautiful presentation of wonderful food; dining out; dining in; the taste of great food; sitting around the table, with friends and family, eating, talking and laughing; nurturing those I love by cooking for them...all of the senusal pleasures that food brings! My favorite Internet site for yummy recipes is this one - and I almost always choose recipes with five-star ratings, so please keep on reviewing! :-)
