The Southern Rustic

This is a good soup to have during the cold winter months. It is flavorful and it warms you up. It is full of fresh vegetables, spices, herbs, and beans which make for a very filling soup. It is perfect for just coming in from the cold or snow.

INGREDIENTS:

1 onion, diced

2 celery, diced

2 carrots, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced

1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced

salt and pepper

1 tbsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1 1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes ( desired heat preference)

1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes

1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 can northern beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup dried lentils

1 yellow squash, diced

1 zucchini, diced

8 cups vegetable stock

DIRECTIONS:

  1. In a large soup pot over medium heat add a little bit of water along with onion, celery, carrot, garlic, and both bell peppers. Cook until tender about 10 minutes. Add more water if needed.
  2. Add the salt, pepper chili powder, cumin, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until fragrant.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and stir to combine. Cook for about 2 minutes.

Hello Everyone! Thank you so much for stopping by. Let me tell you a little bit about me. I am a mom of two, a stepmom of 1, two wild and silly pups, and I have the best husband in the world. I also have a love of cooking and baking. I am always in the kitchen finding new recipes to try, recreating old family recipes, and reminiscing about the old ways. I am vintage at heart and love all things old and cast iron. I love spending time with the family and pups and just going where life takes us. I created my blog a few years ago with my youtube channel because I thought that If I shared a recipe, then people just might like to see just how the recipe is put together. I share all of my family recipes along with today's recipes. Whether it is old-fashioned recipes, sourdough, einkorn, desserts, sheet pan meals, or even crockpot meals, they are all absolutely delicious. I spend hours, if not days, creating and dabbling with recipes to make sure they are the best for you and your family. All of my recipes are family tested and family-approved before they are ever posted to my blog or youtube channel. Every now and again I will share some behind-the-scenes fun and chaos of our creations and family adventures. I hope you all stick around and join us here at The Southern Rustic and see what we cook up in my kitchen. You can find all of my social media information in the Contact/Donate OR the Social Media Accounts tab on my home page. There I have listed my Instagram pages, YouTube channel, Email, and other information so you can easily find everything in one place. I hope that you all have a wonderful, wonderful day and I will see you soon. Sam TheSouthernRustic
