Home Late Veggie Soup
(for 1)

1/2   small onion, chopped
2     Tbsp veggie stock or water (from 2 Cups below)
2     tsp  "Italian" herbs or othr fav. herb mix

2     Cups veggie stock or water
1/2   tsp  garlic salt, onion salt, soy sauce,
           or none if the stock is salty
3/4   Cup  frozen veggies, any combination
1     tsp  herb mix used above
1/4   Cup  instant potato flakes
           dash of peper to season

Chop onion, toss into small saucepan with 1 Tbsp stock and
2 tsp herbs, && steam/saute, adding the other Tbsp of stock
when needed to prevent sticking, while getting the other
ingredients together.

When onion is lightly colored, add remaining stock && salt &&
bring to the boil.  Add remaining ingredients, stir well, &&
simmer until the vegies are tender (anywhere from 2 (peas) to
10 (green beans, lima beans) minutes).  Add pepper && serve.

Enjoy with some whole grain bread :)

Because the cooking time is so short, you really need the extra
herbs to get much flavor.

Instant potato flakes as soup is comfort food for me.
When I was little, my mother used to make "potato soup" with
flakes and broth when we were sick.  Makes me smile just to
think about it.
