It’s National Soup Month – drink up!
It’s getting colder, so to warm up I’m turning to lots of warm soups and comforting foods. This soup is hearty and full of flavor and texture. A perfect meal for those cold winter nights.
ingredients:
1 (14oz) kielbasa
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 cup corn
1/2 cup peas
1 diced carrot
1 (15 oz) can garbanzo beans
2 (14 oz) cans chicken broth
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Chop the kielbasa into small pieces. In a large pot over medium high heat cook the kielbasa with the minced garlic for about 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, corn, peas and carrot. Pour in the chicken broth.
Add in the seasonings: basil, oregano, celery seed, cumin, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes.
Kid's lunches, simple dinners and a whole lot of geeky baking.
We are on the same wavelength — I’d planned this for tonight’s dinner, but with black beans. There’s no way the fam would touch it with chick peas (they look like baby’s butts!).
