Simple Pepper Vegetable Soup - Ten Minute Meal

This is an easy soup I make with beans, rice, frozen veggie, carmelized onions and vegetable broth.

First I use vegetable broth as the base.  (You can purchase pre made broth) But I like to simmer carrots, onions, garlic, yellow peppers, salt and pepper until the veggies are soft. Then strain it and use it the broth for soups and flavorings.

Then i saute a small yellow onion in olive oil.  Saute until the onion is soft and translucent.

Put 4 cups of broth in a saucepan.  Add the onions.  Then add one half can of beans of choice (I prefer cannellini beans or white beans), 1/2 cup of cooked brown or white rice, 1 cup of frozen veggies.

I serve this with a hearty slice of whole grain sprouted bread or croutons on top of the soup.

This is a nice appetizer or meal depending on what your mood is.  It is also great when you are sick of salad!

Go for it.  Easy Peasy.  10 minute meal!
