Okra Soup

Week two on my quest to have my lunches be soup made out of veggies from my www.greenling.com local box.  I looked at several recipes for okra soup and adjusted them to what I had on hand.

Okra Soup

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 onions, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 green bell peppers, diced

1-1.5 lbs okra, sliced

3 red potatoes, diced

1 28 oz can diced tomatoes

1 14.5 oz can diced roasted tomatoes

3 cups cooked navy beans

6 cups vegetable broth

4 bay leaves

1 tsp dried oregano

3/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Salt to taste

Black pepper to taste

Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.

Add onions, garlic, and green bell peppers. Saute until soft and fragrant.  

Add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Simmer approx 30min.
