Autumn Soup

I have been craving soup really bad ever since fall started! Well I got home the other night from work late and had no idea what I was going to make for dinner. I looked in the fridge and nothing sounded good to me. I decided to start just throwing things into the pot that seemed like a good idea and lo and behold it was amazing! I called my mom to come over and try my tasty Vegan soup (which we later called Autumn Soup)! My mom tried it and she ended up eating two large bowls! That is amazing because before I was a vegan my mother would not eat anything I made lol... it was always not very good. I guess being a vegan has turned me into a cooking genius cause she hurries over now anytime I ask her to come and try something! (It's super easy cause she lives next door... but still lol) I want to share this recipe because it is just way to good to keep to myself! So here it is....

1/3-1/2 package of meatless ground
2 carrots (peeled and chopped)
2 celery stalks (washed and chopped)
1 whole onion (red if you have it) (chopped)
2 handfulls of frozen green beans (thawed and cut in thirds)
3 potatoes (peeled and cut into small rectangles) (tastes best this way lol)
1 large can tomato juice
1 can diced tomatos
2 tablespoons Earth balance vegan butter

In a skillet combine meatless ground, celery, carrots, onion and butter. Cook until the veggies are al dente. Add the green beans after you turn off the heat and move to the back burner

Peel, cut and rinse potatoes. Boil until al dente. Drain.

Combine everything into the pot.

Drain diced tomatos and add to the pot.

Add the whole can of tomato juice.

Add chopped parsley (I didn't measure, but you can't really go wrong with parsley)

Let cook for about 15- 20min. and Voila! Deliciousness!!

Serve and eat with buttered Italian Bread!!! (Earth Balance of course)

Please enjoy! I know we have! I have made this twice in the last week! Yum!
