Simple Soup

Sorry for the lack of posts. I have lots I want to share with you but the first one is a simple soup. I tossed this together the other night and then have made a couple of variations since. I wanted a minestrone soup but did want to take the time to look for a recipe. So off to the pantry I went to look for ingredients.
Quicky Veggie Soup
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can veggie broth
1 can water
1 leek finely chopped
2 carrots finely chopped
garlic to taste
italian seasoning to taste

Saute the leeks and carrots add all other ingredients and simmer until carrots are soft. If you want the rich taste of minestrone add 1 tbs of vegan margarine and sprinkle with vegan parmasan topping.

Variations
1 . add 2 cups beans
2. serve over macaroni
3. blend until smooth
4. add quinoa - this will be the next experiment
