On December 1, 2018 I became a vegetarian. Not a vegetarian that also eats meatballs (which was the name of my game every time I've tried to go veg in the past...), but I'm REALLY trying to limit the amount of animal products I consume. Why? My guides told me to. They've been telling me for a while, but I haven't listened. So now I am :) Here's one of my favorite soups for winter. If you make it, let me know! Add your own spin to it and don't worry about the measurements too much. You can't mess it up :)
Ingredients:
A splash of olive oil
4 chopped carrots
1 chopped yellow onioin
3 stalks chopped celery
2 cups chopped green beans
2 small zucchini, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced

2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes
1 can of cannellini beans
