    I made a vegetable soup last weekend with low sodium v8 as the liquid base. 

    sauteed onion and garlic, added celery, carrots, zuchini, mushrooms and white beans and then swiss chard and V8.

    easy and healthy!

    I made Potato and Leek soup for dinner tonight, it was delicious 

    4-5 yukon gold potatoes (I used regular potatoes) - cut into 1/2 inch pieces

    4 large leeks chopped (using only the white and pale green parts)

    1 onion chopped

    1 tsp fresh garlic

    6 cups low sodium chicken broth

    1/2 tsp pepper

    3/4 cup chopped (small) ham - optional

    Clean leeks by cutting off the end and tops, slice lengthwise and soak in bowl for a few minutes.

    Put all of the above in a pot, bring to a boil and simmer for 25 minutes.  Then transfer to blender (in batches) and puree. 

    We added the ham to the soup after it was pureed, then simmered on the stove for another 10 minutes and found it added a little more flavor.

    Let me preface this by saying that I never really learned how to cook (wasn't cool when I was growing up)....but the following website has actually got reading recipes and excited about cooking.

    The World's Healthiest Foods website is a godsend to me....I LOVE, LOVE' LOVE IT!  Everything is quick and generally involves around 5 ingredients (find with chemo brain, that I really can't handle much more than that yet!)......you can sign up for a daily recipe or else just enter a food and a few recipes come out....and you can learn a lot from the different nutrition info included...

     enjoy!

    Earlier I put a recipe up for potato and leek soup.  I wanted to add that I made it again for my oldest daughter -she is a vegetarian.  I substituted the chicken broth for vegetable broth (not tomato based) and added 1 tsp of garlic and used 1 1/2 tsp of himalayn salt in place of regular salt. It came out wonderful!!!!!  Thought I'd share for anyone who is a vegetarian or cutting down on meat products. It tasted just as good as when I made it with chicken broth.
