Miracle Soup

Source: Zonya’s Healthbites

2 Tbsp olive oil

6 cups water

4 cups vegetable juice

1 large onion (I use pre-chopped, frozen)

2 bags Western Family Mediterranean Mixed Frozen Vegetables, or combo of cauliflower, carrots, green beans 

2 cans (14½ oz each) diced tomatoes

4 cups shredded cabbage (I use a bag of coleslaw mix)

½ cup salsa

¼ tsp garlic powder

¼ tsp pepper

1 tsp salt

1 tsp dried basil

2 tsp dried oregano

1 envelope dry onion soup mix
Parmesan cheese for topping

Sauté onion in olive oil, add remaining ingredients. Simmer until vegetables are tender about 20 minutes.

*This is called Miracle Soup because it takes more calories to burn than it yields. It is surprisingly addicting! Substitute fresh veggies if desired. I save the rind from parmesan cheese and throw it in my soups to add tons of flavor.
