Tomato Soup with Veggies

This week has been a flurry, cold week. SO I made alot of soup :) This was my first soup of the week. Easy, and yummy. This is the recipe:

• 
  
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup chopped carrot
• 1/4 cup chopped celery
• 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
• 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 drops hot pepper sauce
• 1 can of corn

 Instead of using the crushed tomatoes I used tomato chunks. We used our own canned tomatoes so that's the way they were..chunky! I liked the soup with the chunky tomatoes..so do as you wish:) The only thing that takes time in this recipe is the chopping. Soup is such an easy meal!

Step one:

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic until onion is tender.

Step two:

Add carrot and celery; cook for 5 to 7 minutes until tender, stirring frequently. Stir in tomatoes, broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, thyme, corn, pepper and hot pepper sauce. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 20 minutes, stirring frequently.

Enjoy!
