Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil (15g) or 1 tbsp any vegetable oil (15g)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 tbsp)
  • 1/2 cup celery
  • 1 cup tomato
  • 1 cup carrot
  • 1 cup cabbage
  • 1 cup broccoli (optional)
  • 1 cup french beans (optional)
  • 1/4 cup mushroom (any kind ) (optional)
  • 1/4 cup okra (optional)
  • 1 tbsp italian seasoning
  • 2 bay leaves (optional)
  • 1/3 cup ketchup (80g)
  • 1 dash black pepper (or to taste)
  • 2 tsp salt (or to taste, if you have more water)

Directions:

  1. In a pot of 3-4 quarts, sauté garlic in vegetable oil in low heat. Before it turns brown, add onion, turn up the heat and sauté for 2 more minutes.
  2. Add all the diced vegetables.
  3. Add water to cover all vegetables and more water to 2 inches above the vegetables. (Vegetables give water while cooking so don't put in too much water if you want a really hearty soup).
  4. Add all the seasonings. Simmer for 2-3 hours. (I use a no-heat thermal pot and let sit for 12 hours. If you simmer with heat, remember to add water as necessary).
