Nothing Better Than Grandmas Veggie Soup

2 tablespoons canola or olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 rib celery, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 quart broth (vegetable, chicken or beef—any will work well)
1 (28-oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 envelope Knorr Vegetable Soup/Dip mix
1 (10-oz.) bag frozen mixed vegetables
1 tablespoon balsamic or pure apple cider vinegar
1 (16-oz.) can beans (white, pinto, black—whatever you have on hand)
Chopped fresh parsley, to taste
Salt & Pepper, to taste

Heat a large (4-quart) heavy stock pot over medium heat until drops of water bounce before evaporating. Add oil, chopped onion and celery; sauté until translucent. Add garlic and sauté until it becomes very fragrant.

Add broth, tomatoes, soup mix and cook for a few minutes; then add remaining ingredients except parsley and seasonings.

Simmer for 30 minutes; taste to check seasoning, and add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir in parsley.

Serve with homemade cornbread.
