Veggie Tortilla Soup

Veggie Tortilla Soup


1 tbsp Sodium Free Granulated Chicken Bouillun
1 medium beet
3 large carrots
3 medium baking potatoes
1/2  red bell pepper
3 tomatoes
1 head broccoli
4 leaves kale
1/2 yellow onion
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp cumin
1 bunch cilantro
Sharp cheddar cheese

This is my rendition of traditional tortilla soup 
that is loaded with antioxidant rich veggies!
I cook mine in a wok which cuts the cooking time 
in half and no oil is used.

Start by cutting the beet in small slivers 
Add about 3 cups of water and salt in the wok on high heat
Once boiling add beets and cover
Cut up carrots and potatoes in bite sized pieces 
Add to them in the wok with 2 more cups of water
Cut tomatoes, bell pepper, and garlic then add them as well

Now cut the steams of the broccoli in bite sized bits 
Set aside florets
Add the broccoli stems and chicken bouillon 
If need be add more water to keep it soupy 
Cut up the kale then garlic and add to soup

Once all ingredients are in add the cumin 
Simmer until all veggies are soft

While soup is simmering chop cilantro and shred cheese
When soup is done pour and top the cilantro, cheese and ENJOY!
