QUICK & EASY STEAMER BAG VEGETABLE SOUP
I am tired of the cost and similar taste of all the canned soups out there, but I wanted something that was almost as easy to fix for lunch. As an added plus, my son said it was the best vegetable soup he had ever had! I've used all the combinations of the 3 types of vegetable mixes and have liked them all. I like adding the chickpeas for my protein, but the family prefers the chicken.

Steps:
- Steam the veggies in the microwave as directed on each of the bags you choose to use.
- Dissolve bouillon cubes in 1 cup of hot water. Combine vegetables, bouillon broth, sugar and tomatoes in large sauce pan. Added more water to cover vegetables if necessary. Chicken and/or chickpeas can be added if desired. Let simmer for 15 minutes or until heated thoroughly.
- Notes: we like the sugar in it because it cuts some of the acidity of the tomatoes. It also works well to place all the ingredients in a crock-pot and refrigerate overnight. Then just heat for about 4 hours on low for an easy meal the next day.
EASY VEGETABLE/BLACK BEAN SOUP
With most of the food in the house being saved for christmas eve/day, I was hard-pressed to find anything to eat. I decided to make soup out of canned goods i had in the house. Couldn't find a recipei liked, so i made up my own. It was really good and my parents couldn't eat enough of it. The tomato puree adds a thick body to the soup which makes it hearty and thick. I made this about a week ago and I may not have remembered all the ingredients or steps. If i left anything out I'll be sure to add it. However, this soup is really versatile so don't be afraid to make it your own! Any leftover vegetables would be a welcome participant. Enjoy!

Steps:
- heat oil in the bottom of the soup pot. Add onion, garlic and carrot until the onion becomes clear.
- Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Add the beans, corn, cumin, cilantro, and chili powder if using, and bring to a boil (not a rapid boil because the soup is pretty thick).
- Add tomato puree and heat again until hot and steamy.
- salt and pepper to taste. i personally didn't use salt because canned veggies are pretty salty on their own, but for people who like a lot of salt, i would add some.
- The longer you leave the soup cooking on low, the better the flavors meld together. However it can be served immediately if you're in a rush.
- Serve with crackers, because this soup is perfect for them! Also good with a little cheese sprinkled on top (whatever kind you enjoy).

EASY HEARTY BEEF VEGETABLE SOUP
This is one of our favorites in the winter. My family loves it served with sweet cornbread. You can't hardly go wrong with veggie soup. Frozen veggies can be substituted for canned, just use about the same amount of ounces(approx. 45 ounces), canned tomatoes (I use home canned), barley for lentils, ground beef for sirloin...

Steps:
- 1. Cook beef until tender using the meat tenderizer, I prefer to pressure cook it, but it can be boiled. After cooking, shred or cut into small pieces. Retain broth from cooked meat.
- 2. In large soup pan, mix all the remaining ingredients with the cooked meat and juice and add enough water to make it "soup-like". Allow extra water for what the lentils will absorb.
- 3. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, adding additional water as needed, 1 cup or so at a time.
