Happy Autumn!

One of my favorite things to make when it starts getting chilly is Vegetable Soup. It's healthy, so simple, and can be made with almost anything you have around the kitchen! This recipe makes is perfect for dinner for one person, or a side dish for two or three.

1 can chicken broth (I use fat-free or reduced sodium)
2 cups canned, frozen, or fresh vegetables. Some of my favorites are:

-Tomatoes
-Spinach
-Zucchini
-Cabbage
-Mushrooms
-Onions
-Corn
-Carrots
-Celery

Also, I like to add frozen shrimp for extra protein. The best part about this soup is that it's different every time!

Heat on a stove over medium heat until all is warm--10-15 minutes should be enough. Season with fresh ground pepper and basil when in season.
