Description:
Soup with favorite veggies. Don't let the number of ingredients scare you, use what you have! That's what I did.All veggies are cut up bite sizeAll seasoning measurements are approximate & to tasteIf you use canned or frozen veggies, you can shorten the cooking times since they are somewhat pre-cooked.All seasonings shown are dried measurements, not fresh herbs.I made CousCous to go with it, but Barley or rice would be great.
Ingredients:- 4 large chicken breasts (or whole chicken -meat only)
- 64 ounces chicken or turkey broth
- 1 cup Onion chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh Garlic Clove minced
- 1 to 2 cups carrots - bite size chunks

- 1 cup fresh or frozen Baby Okra
- 1 cup (or can) water chestnuts
- 1 1/2 cup Quartered canned Artichoke hearts
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 t Salt - To taste
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Oregano
- 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
- 1 1/2 teaspoons basil
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 2 t Curry
- 1/4 t powdered ginger
- 1/4 t dill weed

How to make it:- In a Large Soup Pot bring the Broth to a boil

- Add Carrots (Fresh Okra and Fresh green beans also if using fresh) - allow to boil gently until slightly softened
- Add Summer Squash, Zucchini, water chestnuts, Frozen Baby Okra, canned green beans
- Add Artichokes, mushrooms & lemon juice in the last 10 minutes before serving.
- For a special dinner, remove 2 to 3 cups of the veggies & put in the blender a couple seconds then return the soupy minced mixture to the pot. it will thicken the soup nicely without adding starch but still leave plenty of bite sized veggies.
