Ingredients

• 1 carton of Heinen's veggie stock
• 2 cups of water
• 2 tablespoons of Trade Joe's veggie soup base

• 1 red pepper diced
• 4 stalks of celery diced
• start the above for your base.
• then I add
• 2 cans diced tomatoes - usually the ones that already have basil, oregano
• 1 cup of corn, or more
• and chop it up
• 2 cans of some kind of white beans
• then to season pepper, liberally
• 1 tsp smoked paprika from Penzeys
• 2 tablespoons dried basil
• fresh basil if I have it - 4 large leaves
• garlic powder (or you can use fresh garlic, I just never have it around)
• 1 TBSP of oregano

Preparation

Step 1

It seems that once I have the base done, I can do almost anything, I once did the roasted red peppers that come the jar and it was wonderful.
