Marmie's No Cabbage Fat Burning Soup image

This is a very easy recipe that I have changed over the years, but originally it came from a hospital I worked at and was used to help overweight patients lose weight before surgery. I make it because my whole family loves it and it is so low in calories it is pretty much a free food when I am dieting. I do not care for cabbage in soup so this suits us just fine! I have made it in the crock pot as well with great success. There is a 'diet meal plan' that goes with the original recipe if anyone is interested.. This freezes wonderfully, so I put some of it in small personal sized containers and thaw as required for my hubby and my self for lunches. Servings are estimated, it makes a large pot full. I hope you like it!

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs carrots, chopped (I often use the little baby carrots for quickness)
2 green peppers, Chopped
1 bunch celery, Chopped
1 bunch green onion, Chopped
2 cups green beans (I like french cut frozen green beans or 2 Cups fresh green beans, but you could use 2 cans of green )
2 (28 ounce) cans tomatoes, chopped (I prefer 3 cups of fresh tomatoes peeled and chopped if I have time)
1 (40 g) package vegetable soup mix (optional, can be added toward the end of simmering.. more calories, carbs and sodium and may not be )
1 liter beef bouillon (optional... but can use vegetable flavor too)
4 cups water (or to quantity desired)

2 teaspoons oregano
herbs, and spices to your personal taste
