Jen’s Clean Out the Crisper Vegetable Soup

This recipe comes from Trina and Bob's daughter, Jen. They say it's a keeper!

1 small onion
2 tablespoons of bacon fat
½ cup of corn/red pepper mix (ours was frozen but you can use fresh)
2 handfuls of green beans
¼ cups finely chopped broccoli
½ teaspoon of garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
1 handful of chopped carrots
½ cup of water
1 (8 oz) can of tomato sauce (we used the one flavored with basil, garlic and oregano)
Chicken stock – just enough to cover the veggies

Combine all ingredients in a pot on stovetop and cook for 10 to 20 minutes. Garnish with cheese, add GF croutons or pasta – this recipe is very versatile.
