Vegetable Soup

I love making soup when it is cold. Today I did not have bread to make sandwich for lunch. I raided my refrigerator and made soup with the vegetables I found. It turned out well. It was low-fat too.






Ingredients:
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 turnip,diced
1/2 parsnip,diced
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1 red potato, diced
6 green beans, diced
4 florets cauliflower
1 small tomato, chopped
1 T edamame(green soy beans)
1 t dry parsley
1 T dry white beans
1 T dry basil
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 T olive oil


Method:
1. Heat oil in a pan. saute garlic and onion.
2. Add the rest of the vegetables. Add enough water to cover the vegetables.
3. Add the parsley and basil. Add the dry beans. Transfer everything to a slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour or on low for 2 hours. If you do not have crock pot, put everything in a pressure cooker. Add salt. Cover and cook for 4 whistles.
4. When the soup is done, add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm with bread.
