Ingredients

4 -5 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon vegetable oil

chopped fresh cilantro
fresh cracked pepper
hot sauce (optional)

Preparation

In a deep saucepan heat vegetable oil and sautee garlic until golden brown.
Add soy sauce and let it bubble and sizzle before adding the vegetable broth.
Bring to a boil.
Turn down heat and add the remaining ingredients.
Simmer for 5 minutes.
I like my vegetables crunchy.
