Equipment

Ingredients

  • 32 ounces chicken broth you may use low-sodium
  • 3 cups V-8 juice *see recipe notes
  • 28 ounces Italian diced tomatoes
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 3 carrots peeled and sliced
  • 1 zucchini diced
  • 1 yellow squash diced
  • 2 cups green beans fresh or frozen
  • 14 ounces kidney beans drained and rinsed
  • 3 to 4 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper

  • FREEZING INSTRUCTIONS
    This makes a large batch of soup. If you would like to freeze portions of it to use later, undercook the vegetables just a little. Pour the soup into freezer Ziplock bags and let as much air out as you can. Lay the bags flat on a cookie sheet and freeze. Once the soup is frozen flat, it is easy to layer in your freezer and won't take up much room. To thaw, place the bag in the fridge for 24 hours and then reheat.
