Easy Cabbage Soup

I love this recipe for easy cabbage soup. It doesn't take long to make and it tastes fantastic!

Ingredients:
1 small savoy cabbage (or kale)shredded
3 Tbs olive oil
3 carrots
2 15oz cans veggie stock
1/2 cup short grain rice
2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
3 cups water
salt and pepper to taste
croûtons (for garnish)


Heat oil and garlic in large pot then add cabbage and carrots stirring to coat. Next stir in the broth 3 cups of water, cayenne pepper, and then salt and pepper to taste. Boil then bring down to a simmer for about 15 minutes.

Stir in the rice and simmer covered for another 15 minutes.

That's it! Simple, cheap, and tasty. Garnish with croûtons and serve it up.

Vegetarian Leftover Soup

This is a really cheap meal because it is all about the leftovers. All I do is take a can of vegetable stock (for soups) and start heating it on the stove. Today I added in the leftover rice from last night's stir fry, chopped up a carrot, diced half a zucchini, half an onion chopped, some beans from two days ago and the leftover basil from my pasta primavera. For extra flavor I tossed in some fresh cracked pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Fifteen minutes later I had a great, quick, and cheap soup for lunch.
