Sneak-in the Veggies Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 can beans drained (any flavor - I like black beans)
• 1 can diced potatoes (drained)
• 1/2 cup orzo pasta (cook according to package)
• 6 medium tomatoes
• 4-5 stalks of celery
• 1 package frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry)
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1 tsp. dill weed

• 1/4 tsp. cumin

Directions:

Chop up tomatoes and celery and add to large soup pot. Turn on low and let it simmer until veggies get soft. Add the spinach and all spices, salt and pepper and continue to simmer until all is soft (several hours is best). Put it all in a blender/food processor to puree. Put back in soup pot and add beans, potatoes and cooked Orzo last and simmer about 30 minutes to heat thoroughly. Your kids won't realize they are eating so many veggies because all they will see are the pasta, beans and potatoes.
