Vegetarian Cabbage Vegetable Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 yellow onion
3 garlic cloves
4 large carrots
24 ounces vegetable juice (I like Spicy Hot V8)
2 (14 ounce) cans vegetable broth
2 (14 ounce) cans water
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet onion soup mix
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano
2 small zucchini
2 small yellow squash
4 stalks celery
1 cup green beans
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 medium head of cabbage
salt and pepper (as desired)

Preparation

Spray a large stock pot with cooking spray and saute onion, garlic, and carrots over medium heat, about 5 minutes until beginning to soften. Add a couple tablespoons of the broth if needed to prevent browning.
Add the V8, broth, water, soup mix, and seasonings. Turn heat to high.
Chop remaining vegetables into slices, or bite-size pieces, and add to pot. Stir.
Once soup reaches a boil, turn heat to low and simmer for an hour.
Wonderful served with crusty bread.
