While trying to incorporate more vegetables into my diet, which by the way has curbed my appetite, I came up with a sort of Summer Vegetable Soup. This recipe is much more than just soup. You can serve it with your meat main dish, with eggs, with a few bites of rice. This is very tasty, nutrituous, and easy to prepare. It will also make use of the many summer veges our neighbors are giving us!
Zucchini
Onions
2 cloves garlic
Broccoli
Fresh tomatoes
Cauliflower
Can of chopped tomatoes
4 or 5 handfuls of spinach
5 or so sprigs of fresh thyme
I started with chicken broth from roasted chicken that I had made for my chicken enchiladas about 1.5 cups. I added the zucchini and let that cook a few minutes. Add fresh ground pepper and salt, then added the onions and garlic. I added a fresh tomato that I had left over from another recipe also. Let that cook a few more minutes, then add the rest of the ingredients. Let this simmer for around 15-20 minutes, add spinach, torn up if you like cook for one to two minutes. Remove the the thyme stalks, the leaves should fall off. And there you have a great vegetable base.
EGGS AND VEGE SOUP:
In a frying pan put around 1 cup or so of the above recipe. let it warm, move to the side and leave a hole in the middle. Put an egg in the hole, cook to your preference of doneness. sprinkle a small amount of cheese over and slide onto a plate. WOW was this good. I love broccoli/tomato/egg combo at any time and in any increment. So yummy and filling.d
POUR OVER GRILLED CHICKEN
POUR OVER 1/2 CUP OF RICE AND CUT COOKED CHICKEN BREAST
