A delicious soup recipe that I got out of a1990's cookbook called, Live Long and Healthy. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 small yellow onion, coarsely chopped |
1 medium green pepper, coarsely chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice, do not drain |
1/2 cup long grain rice |
4 cups chicken broth |
2 cups water |
4 carrots, peeled and sliced |
1 (10 ounce) package frozen green beans |
2 cups roasted turkey, cut into 1-inch cubes or 2 cups cooked chicken |
1/2 cup chopped black olives |
1 tablespoon fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. In a large stockpot, heat the oil over moderate heat.
2. Add the onion, green pepper, and garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.
3. Stir in tomatoes, chicken broth, water, carrots, rice, and basil. Heat to boiling, then reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Add the green beans, black olives, turkey and salt and pepper. Cook uncovered for about 5 minutes or so until soup is heated through.
5. Serve with garlic sticks or crusty bread.
