Zesty Vegetable Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 medium onion
2 large garlic cloves, chopped fine
1 large potato, diced
1 medium zucchini, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
12 ounces mixed vegetables (corn, gr.beans, carrots)
14 ounces diced tomatoes with mild green chilies
40 ounces low sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons olive oil (use to saute onions, garlic)

Preparation

In your soup pot, put enough olive oil so that onions, garlic don't stick to pan- at least a Tbs. Cook them for a couple minutes, to blend flavors; stir, so they don't stick.
Add can of diced tomatoes with green chiles (or jalapenos), mix.
Add potato, zuchinni, celery, and bag of mixed vegetables, stir.
Add Chicken broth, then ketchup.
I like to cook soups on a medium heat so all the flavors and simmer for a while. Just be sure veggie's are tender, especially potatoes.
