Soups:

Veggie Soup DeJour
From Chipotle Platoon Member PFC. MsBuer

List of Ingredients
* 1 Large bunch of Celery
* 2 Large Green Peppers
* 2 Large Yellow and/or Red Peppers
* 1 Large container of Mushrooms (I like Baby Portabellas)
* 2 Large Onions
* 2 Cups of Chicken Broth or (2 cups of water + 4 packets of Herb Ox Very Low Sodium Bouillon I mix 2 Beef and 2 Chicken)
* 3 Cans Chopped Tomatoes (Stewed, diced, whole...Your choice)
* 1 Tablespoon of the following Spices:
* Basil
* Thyme
* Cumin (3 Tbsp is what I use)
* Oregano
* Parsley
* Pepper
* Garlic Powder (could use 4 cloves of garlic)
* Or: 1/4 cup of Italian Seasoning, 1 Tbsp Pepper and 3 Tbsp Cumin

Instructions

1. Chop all Veggies to small pieces. Place in large stock pot with seasonings. Cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
2. Turn heat down and simmer 1-3 hours. The more you cook it the better the taste.
3. Put hot soup into a blender and blend until smooth.
***Be Very careful doing this...never add more soup then to go half way up your container and cover with a heavy kitchen Towel before turning on to avoid the hot soup from splashing you. It will be very hot!

Can be served hot and eaten like a soup or cold and drink.

In a large preheated non-stick pot, brown chicken using no oil or butter. Add a little water and scrape pan as chicken browns. When pan is dry, add a little more water and continue cooking. Water should turn a little brown from the browned meat and scrapings from the pan. Cook until chicken is tender, adding a little water as needed and watching carefully. Add onions and brown with meat adding water as needed. When onions are limp add about 1/2 cup water. (If using fresh mushrooms, add now and cook until limp.)

Meanwhile chop celery and carrots. Cook in microwave with about 2 tablespoons water for about 3-4 minutes until tender.

Add tomatoes, celery, carrots, drained mushrooms, drained green beans, pepper and parsley to meat; heat through. Add chicken broth and heat until warm.

Add 1/2 cup warmed cooked rice to a large soup bowl. Add soup on top of rice.
