Homemade Vegetable Soup

In a large soup pot add the following veggies: carrots, onion, green beans, squash, zucchini, shredded cabbage. Add enough chicken stock to cover the veggies, bring to a boil and simmer till veggie are done but not mushy. Add chopped garlic and seasonings.

You can add cooked chicken or ground beef if you like and also at the end of the cooking time, add noodles (bow tie pasta works great) and cook just until pasta is al dente to keep it from getting mushy.

This makes a hearty meal on a cold day and goes great with fresh baked bread or cornbread.
