This soup is easy and delicious. You can make it as is or you can use it as a base for even more complext and thicker "meal-in-a-pot" soups! The warm feeling of a hearty and tasty soup is just
wonderful in the winter! This soup is great at any time of the year but it is especially cozy and warming in cold weather. It is tasty and easy to prepare.
Add a delicious peasant bread or your favorite sandwiches and you've got a meal that is a s fast as it is satisfying.

2 to 3 cups of water
1 cup brown rice (cooked, could be leftovers)
1 Tbsp. oats
1 Roma tomato, seeded and chunked
2 stalks celery, washed and sliced
5 potatoes, peeled and cut in pieces
1 small sweet squash, peeled, seeded and cubed
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 cup pumpkin, peeled and cubed
2 cups pasta (any pasta of your choice: Ditalini, macaroni, rigatoni, mostaccioli)
1/2 cup angel hair pasta
1/2 cup red and green Bell peppers, seeded and chopped
1 large onion, peeled and cut in half
1 corn on the cop, peeled and chopped in pieces
2 tbsp. oil
1 cup white cabbage, chopped
Salt to taste
2 Tbsp. garlic powder
2 Tbsp. onion powder
1 Tbsp. sweet paprika powder
1 Tbsp. Turmeric


Dumplings:

1 cup flour seasoned with 1/2 tsp. onion powder
In a bowl, mix the two dry ingredients well. Add water little by little, until you have a dough.
Make little balls. Set aside.


How to prepare soup:

In a pot, put all ingredients, except the pasta and the white cabbage, but including the dumplings.
Cook over a slow heat until vegetables are tender. When they begin to get tender, add the pasta and the white cabbage. Soup will be ready when the pasta is al dente and the cabbage is tender (but not soggy.)
Add the rice by the tablespoon when you serve.


Variations:

1- You can add Navy or Cannellini beans (pre-cooked) when you add the pasta.
2- You can add 2 Tbsp. of your homemade vegan chicken-style seasoning
3- You can prepare any of our sausage recipes, making sure they turn out firm,
cook them and slice them into the soup when you add the pasta to cook it.
4- To give the soup a minestrone flavor, add 1 bay leaf, 1/4 tsp. dried thyme, 1/2 tsp. dried sage
