Today, I tried my hand at making my own vegetable soup, and it turned out pretty darn well. It was delicious and so good for you since the only ingredients are vegetables (I used carrots, zucchini, squash, green beans, peas, corn and potatoes), tomato paste and water.
6 C water
3 small cans tomato sauce (I used Muir Glen)
1 bag sliced carrots (in the produce section — I didn’t use quite the whole bag, and when I make this again I’d probably only use half the bag)
1 can corn
1 can green beans
1 can peas
1 can potatoes (I didn’t feel like peeling and slicing, so I went ahead and bought the potatoes on the canned vegetable aisle)
1 zucchini
1 squash
Seasoning to taste (I used Basil, Thyme and Oregano)
Combine everything in a crock pot and cook on low for six hours. The carrots were still a bit crunchy, so next time I will probably put those in an hour ahead of time, then add everything else and cook for six hours.
If you like this recipe, please pin it on Pinterest!
Wow, that looks delicious! There’s nothing better than homemade soup (except maybe chocolate… cuz well, that trumps everything.. 😉

This looks good but I’m confused about whether you used tomato paste as you said above or tomato sauce as the recipe says.
Did you drain cans of vegetables first?
I also need to know if you drain cans of veggies? Hope to get an answer soon. My carrots are cookin 🙂
I made it a little different an it was really good
Made if! Was good but I made a few minor changes :/
I get this message when trying to pin your soup, “sorry, Pinterest cannot pin this image?
Thanks,
