I made this today and it was so good!
Please excuse the extra chit chat - I cut and pasted from my blog, which is my outlet for chattiness! LOL
Soup for My Babies
Splash a little bit of olive oil in a soup pot. Heat it up and add:
* One chopped onion.
* About two cups of chopped cabbage.
* 3 medium zucchini, cut in half lengthwise and sliced into half-moons.
Sauté them for a few minutes, stirring every so often with a wooden spoon. I don't know why I like to sauté my veggies for soup. I just do. I think it tastes toastier.
Add a large can (28 ounces) of diced tomatoes or about a pound of chopped, fresh tomatoes.
Add a small (6 ounce) can of tomato paste.
Use the little can to add water. Add three cans worth.
Stir in the following:
* 1/4 teaspoon salt.
* 2 teaspoons coriander. I don't know why, but I'm obsessed with coriander in soup at the moment.
* 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning.
* 1 teaspoon sugar.
* A few shakes cayenne pepper, depending on how hot you like it.
Bring everything to a boil, turn down the heat and let it simmer for a little bit, about enough time to get yourself a Diet Cheerwine out of the fridge, open it and read a sweet email from your husband. Stir occasionally (the soup, that is, you should stir the husband more often).
Add a cup of frozen, shelled Edamame for protein.
Just before serving, stir in a half a cup of buttermilk.
