   this looks great but remember that it’s been proven that healthy fats are
   essential for optimal health. nothing wrong with cooking your veg in virgin
   coconut oil or topping this off with some good quality extra virgin olive
   oil.

   This is a tasty, low-fat soup. It’s all vegetables, beans and rice so there’s not a lot of calories, either. You can replace the soy sauce with low sodium soy sauce, if desired.”

   3/4 cup chopped celery
   3/4 cup chopped onion
   1 cup chopped carrots
   1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
   3 cups tomato-vegetable juice cocktail
   2 cups water
   1 leek, chopped
   1 potato, peeled and cubed
   1 (15 ounce) can peas, drained
   1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
   2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained
   1 cup long-grain white rice
   1 tablespoon soy sauce
   1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
   1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
   1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
   1 teaspoon dried dill weed

   Roast Winter Vegetable Soup
   2 lg carrots
   1 lg onion
   2 sweet potatoes
   1 rutabaga or swede
   1 butternut or acorn squash
   1 whole bulb of garlic
   3tbs olive oil
   2 tsp sea salt
   pepper to taste
   2 tbs dried mixed green herbs
   Veg bullion/ stock cubes

   1) Peel and chop all but the garlic and place in a roasting pan.
   2) Cut the top off the garlic and add to roasting pan.
   3) Add oil and spices and toss until all veg is covered. (make sure garlic is cut side up)
   4) Put in your oven set to 350 F until the veg is tender. (I like to give it a few minutes under the broiler to give some extra color, just be careful not to burn it!)
   5) Remove Garlic and set aside to cool, toss the rest of the veg into a pot and fill with water(unless you have veg stock, use that in place of water.) just to cover the veg.
   6) Once the garlic is cool enough to handle remove it from the husk and toss in the soup.
   7) Bring to a moderate boil and add the stock cubes. (if that’s what you are using.) Check flavor then season to taste.
