Mixed Vegetable Soup

Libby’s Fruits & Vegetables are a time-saving solution to creating healthy meals despite super-packed schedules! I decided to make a mixed vegetable soup using em’!

These microwaveable and shelf-stable pouches come in 5 different varieties: sliced carrots, sweet peas, cut green beans, mixed vegetables and sweet corn.

I still had lots of vegetables left after making the Spiced & Stuffed Samosa Baked Potatoes, and it’s been pretty darn cold here lately (much to my despair), so I figured a hot soup would be perfect!

This is another soup-er (heh heh) quick recipe that takes less than 10 minutes! My hours, although self-induced, haven’t gotten any better. I worked 43.5 hours in 3 shifts over Tuesday through Thursday of last week and another 15-hour shift on Sunday/Monday. One of the nurses made me go home on Monday morning and threatened to drive me back if I didn’t go right away, haha.

On the flip side, I’m learning a lot (which is why I’ve been forgoing sleep in the first place), so I really can’t complain. Knowing that I can have a delicious and healthy soup ready in under 10 minutes when I get home gives me something to look forward to. :] That definitely doesn’t hurt!

I received free samples of Libby’s new Vegetable Pouches mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe. I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Libby’s and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.
