"This is a great tasting soup recipe shown to me by my Auntie Ethel Sabourin. It's a vegetable soup, but you add the garlic at the end to give it a strong garlicky flavor."
INGREDIENTS
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 1/4 medium head cabbage, shredded
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 2 (14.5 ounce) cans peeled and diced tomatoes
• 3 1/2 cups water
• 1 cup elbow macaroni
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute the carrots, celery and cabbage in the oil for about 8 minutes, stirring well.
2. Raise heat to high and pour in the broth, tomatoes and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 1 hour.
3. Remove lid, stir in macaroni and heat for 5 minutes, or until macaroni is tender. Remove from heat and stir in the garlic and ground black pepper.
