This recipe is from the February 2006 Quick Cooking magazine. Definitely a C.O.R.N worthy consideration as the vegetable ingredients call for 1/2 cup. I found that about 1 carrot, 1 stalk of celery, 1 potato, 1/2 onion all about equal 1/2 cup so I will use that as a reference in the future. Another thing I did was instead of opening a can of chicken broth, I used chicken bouillon granules and just added 2 3/4 cups of water. I can see this recipe being used for school lunches in a thermos or take to work lunches in cold weather. It's fast to make so it's perfect for supper on a snowy day with some hot bread.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup sliced carrot
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups water
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup stewed tomatoes
1/2 cup cubed peeled potato
1/2 cup frozen cut green beans
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/3 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, sauté onion, celery, carrot and garlic until tender.
2. Stir in remaining ingredients.
3. Bring to a boil.
4. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered for 15 minutes or until heated through and potatoes are tender.
5. Discard bay leaf.
