Hearty Vegetable Soup

I get recipes and DVD's from a great business located in Knoxville, Illinois. Hope for Health believes in many of the same principles that we do in the Whole Wellness Club. This is a recipe from Hope for Health and it takes less than an hour to make. Cooking time is right around 50 minutes at most. There are seven vegetables in this soup. Enjoy!

4 cups Water
1 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. Minced Garlic
2 Celery Stalks, Chopped
2 Carrots, Chopped
1/4 tsp. Crushed Red Pepper
1 Medium Onion, Diced
4 Medium Potatoes, Diced

In a 6-quart or larger pot, bring water to a boil. Add all above ingredients. Cook at a low boil until carrots and celery are tender ( about 20 minutes ).

1 - 15 oz. Can Sweet Peas ( unsalted )
1 - 15 oz. Can Diced Tomatoes ( in juice )
1 - 15 oz. Can Vegetarian Chili Beans
Optional : 12 oz. Bag Shell Noodles or Macaroni Noodles

Add canned peas, tomatoes, and beans. Turn temperature down and simmer about 20 minutes until flavors have mixed well. Serve and Enjoy !

Optional: For a Minestrone Soup, in a separate pot, cook conchiglie shell noodles or macaroni noodles according to package directions. Set aside. When adding canned vegetables, add 2-3 cups ( 1/2 package ) of cooked and drained noodles.
