Quick & Easy Steamer Bag Vegetable Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) bag green beans, corn, carrots & peas
1 (12 ounce) bag broccoli, carrots, sugar snap peas, & water chestnuts or (12 ounce) bag broccoli, corn, carrots, cauliflower & red peppers
4 chicken bouillon cubes
1 -2 cup water
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
broiled chicken, diced (optional)
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (optional)

Preparation

Steam the veggies in the microwave as directed on each of the bags you choose to use.
Dissolve bouillon cubes in 1 cup of hot water. Combine vegetables, bouillon broth, sugar and tomatoes in large sauce pan. Added more water to cover vegetables if necessary. Chicken and/or chickpeas can be added if desired. Let simmer for 15 minutes or until heated thoroughly.
Notes: we like the sugar in it because it cuts some of the acidity of the tomatoes. It also works well to place all the ingredients in a crock-pot and refrigerate overnight. Then just heat for about 4 hours on low for an easy meal the next day.
