Gracie's Vegetable Soup

One day I came home from soup craving a nice, hearty tomato-y vegetable soup. I'm very limited in the foods I can eat, including vegetables, but I was able to get everything I can eat and put together this vegetable soup. I eat it practically every day. It keeps me full, helps my digestive system run smoothly, and keeps me warm on those cold winter days. The only downside to this soup is that my family keeps eating it all! I have to make a new batch every weekend. 

Ingredients:

¾ lb. ground chicken

¾ lb. ground turkey

1 cup cut celery

1 small onion cut

2-3, 32 oz. boxed chicken broth

1 ½ cups frozen lima beans

2 ½ cups cut baby carrots

10 oz. bag frozen corn

2, 14.5 oz. canned diced tomatoes


1. Brown the ground chicken and ground turkey in a large stove top pot.
2. Add cut celery and onion into the browned meat mixture. Let cook for about 5-10 more minutes.
3. Add 2 boxes of chicken broth along with the frozen lima beans. Cover pot and let cook 10 minutes. Try to keep the soup hot but not boiling.
4. Add cut baby carrots to mixture and let cook another 10 minutes.
5. in frozen corn and canned tomatoes into the soup. If you don’t like chunks of tomato, put that into a blender and blend it till it is your desired consistency. Allow soup to cook about 20-30 minutes, adding more chicken broth as needed depending on your taste and the thickness of the soup.
