Brimming with a harvest of garden bounty, this quick-to-fix soup from Heather Ryan of Brown Dee, Wisconsin is fresh-tasting and nutritious. The tomato-based broth is chock-full of everything from carrots and zucchini to garbanzo beans and elbow macaroni.
Ingredients:
4 medium carrots, chopped
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) vegetable broth
3 cups v8 juice
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, drained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup frozen cut green beans
1/2 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven, cook the carrots, zucchini, onion and garlic in oil for 7 minutes or until onion is tender. Add the broth, V8 juice, garbanzo beans, tomatoes, green beans, macaroni and basil. Bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Stir in parsley. Cook 5 minutes longer or until macaroni is tender. Yield: 8 servings.
