Mom created this soup for her friend Bridgett who was dying of Cancer. She was on a very strict diet and could only have fresh vegetables.
Fill large stock pot 3/4 full with water. Place the following ingredients in it:
2-3 chicken breasts de-boned
1/4 cabbage shredded thin
1 c. pinto beans
1 c. brown rice
2 c. baby carrots (cut up)
3-4 stocks of celery chopped
3-4 fresh tomatoes chopped (or one small can chopped tomatoes)
1 c. fresh green beans
2 handfuls of fresh spinach cut up
1 large onion chopped
Handful of parsley chopped
1 tsp. sweet basil
1/2 tsp. oregano
2 bay leaves
4-5 Tbsp. Chicken bouillon
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. garlic salt
3-4 cloves of garlic grated or pressed
1 sweet potato cubed
1 yellow crookneck squash (cut up in quarters)
1 zucchini cut in quarters
1 can of tomato sauce (without citric acid at Whole foods)
Salt and Pepper if needed
Sugar if needed
Simmer for at least 4-6 hours. Mom used a chicken carcass from a rotisserie chicken wrapped in cheesecloth and removed at the end. It helps to season the broth very nicely. Subtract 2 Tbsp. of bouillon if you use carcass.
