Mom’s Veggie and chicken soup

This is mum... She is good at adding in protein to feed her man (our dad, of course)... but if you would like to try this soup vegetarian, it would still come with a guarantee to knock your socks off! And mum doesn't mind a bit! (Alter away!!!)

Ingredients:

1C white onion (diced of chopped)
1C sliced celery
1C sliced carrots
2-minced garlic clove (or 1tsp garlic salt)
16oz can dice tomatoes
8oz can tomato sauce
1can chicken broth (2 Cups)
15oz can red kidney beans (drained)
2C water
5tsp beef bouillon granules
1Tbsp dry parsley flakes
1tsp salt
½ tsp oregano
½ tsp basil
¼ tsp pepper

OR SKIP the ABOVE 5 INGREDIENTS AND JUST ADD 2 Tbsp Trader Joe's 21Season Salute
1C green beans (or 1can)
½ C orzo or macaroni (pasta) ~ {the guarantee on this soup is Null and VOID if you OVERCOOK your pasta!!}
½ C red quinoa
1can chicken (optional)

1/2 C Zucchini

1/2 C Chopped Spinach

How To Prepare:

Mix all ingredients (except pasta, chicken, zucchini, spinach and green beans). Bring to boil, lower heat and cook covered for 20 Min. Then add pasta, chicken, zucchini, spinach and beans simmer 12-15 more minutes. May need to add more water of broth to thin down. The best way to make this is the Trader Joes 21 Season Salute.
