Vegetable Soup

I got back from work today and looked in the fridge and saw a bunch of leftover veggies and other odds and ends that needed to be cooked. So I decided to make a soup out of it!

Ingredients:
1/2 onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 tsp olive oil
2 cups fat free chicken broth
1 can diced tomatoes
12 oz tomato sauce
1 can corn
1 can green beans
1/2 cup peas
1 medium potato (diced)
1 1/2 frozen okra
1 1/2 frozen broccoli
1 cup roasted grape tomatoes
1/3 cup brown rice
2 cups water
Spices- I used salt, pepper, creole, oregano, crushed red pepper...

PP+ 2 (per cup)

First saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil until brown. Then add the rest of the ingredients (prepared as described above. Add more water if needed, or less if you want more a heartier soup. Add the spices according to your liking, I went for a little "bite".
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender. Enjoy!!
