I had a few leftover items from week ones bag of goodies. I needed to figure out how to use the kohlrabi, green peas, garlic scapes, and tomatoes. I also had a bag of baby carrots and celery in the fridge that were nearly their expiration date. I decided to make a vegetable soup. Having never made a vegetable soup, I seriously just chopped veggies and tossed them in a pot, I figured I would taste test along the way.
Ingredients
1 box of low sodium vegetable broth and
1 box of low sodium vegetable stock
(I honestly have no idea if there is any difference in the products other than brand name, feel free to drop a comment if you know)
3 Garlic scapes chopped small
2 cups of fresh green peas (canned would be fine)
1/2 a white onion diced
1/2 a kohlrabi sliced into small chunks
1 1/2 cups sliced carrots
2 cups sliced celery (2 bunches)
1 can of red beans rinsed
1 can of diced tomatoes with basil oregano and thyme
a added a pinch or two of the following spices
thyme
basil
oregano
rosemary
Toss everything in a big pot and let it simmer for a couple of hours on low heat, covered. I cooked about half a box of whole wheat elbow macaroni and tossed it into the pot about 20 minutes before serving.
