Amish Soup

(serves 10)

Ingredients:

- 1 potato

- 1 sweet potato

- 3 carrots

- 3 celery stalks

- 1 onion

- 3 leeks

- 1 c peas (I used frozen)

- 1 c corn (I used frozen)

- 6 c tomato juice (the 100% juice kind that has salt added)

- 2 T honey

- 4 T olive oil

Instructions:

- Chop the veggies (don't bother peeling them) as small as you want for soup.

- Saute everything except the frozen veggies and the juice in a big pot for about 10-15 mins, stirring often, until things start to give up their liquid and get a little tender (it may not take that much time, and that's fine). 

- Add the juice and simmer, covered, until the potatoes are tender, maybe another 10 or 15 mins. Stir occasionally.

- Add the frozen veggies and heat through.

- If you want a truly amazing soup experience, top with kimchi.

Enjoy,

Tofu
