Directions
Add all ingredients to a large kettle, squeezing or cubing whole tomatoes, so that their juices become part of the mixture. Cover and let simmer for several hours, adding water as necessary, until the veggies are fully cooked and the flavors have had the chance to mix. (this soup is really better the second day). I have not included can sizes, since how much (or what you add) really depends on your personal taste. (hominy, for instance, is something i sometimes add, and is really good!) this recipe has no fat and is delicious!! enjoy! :) maggy/tm :* :
