-------------
10 plum tomatoes
1 zucchini
1 sweet onion
1 head garlic
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
6 ounces frozen corn
3 tubs chicken stock -- frozen
2 cups water
Preparation
----------------
Wrap garlic in foil and place into oven throughout the time
you are broiling vegetables.
Chop all veggies into bite sized pieces and place on broiling pan, sprayed
with Pam. You may need to do two or three batches, depending upon your choice
of veggies. Broil until brown and carmelized.
Meanwhile, bring frozen stock to a simmer in a
large stock pot, adding water as needed to create the thickness
you want. As veggies are browned add to stock pot.
(Handy Tip: Steal some roasted veggies for
future use as pizza toppings, as a side dish, or use in a salad.
Store in fridge up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 weeks.)
When all veggies are in the pot let simmer for
5 min on low. Chop the top off of garlic head and squeeze roasted
garlic into pot once it is soft.
To Store: In fridge up to 5 days, in freezer
up to 4 weeks ( place into single sized gladware and take for lunch.)
To Reheat: Warm on stovetop in a pot stirring gently.
