Senior Physical Therapist's Vegetable Beef Soup
fight inflammation special
Sautee the onions in the olive oil. Make meat balls or crumble hamburger. Puree tomatoes and add with remaining ingredients and two cups water. Use Italian seasoning for Basil if you choose. Bring to boil and add frozen ingredients if used. Reduce heat and cook slowly for couple hours. If you are vegan or just choose, leave out beef, bullion and broth. You can add low sodium tomato juice or V-8 juice for different taste. The beauty of Veg soup is you never make it the same twice, so clean out the Frig with left over vegs and feel free to add others. Leave out potatoes, pasta, barley, rice, dried beans and any grains or grain products. This soup does not need it. Don't eat with any bread, just enjoy as much of the soup as you want. You can use canned Vegs but sodium might go up or of course fresh. Delicious and it will taste better tomorrow (for several days) after sitting in the Frig all night. You can take off the fat left by the beef easily then.
Eat it with a salad if you want or do a simple lettuce, tomatoes and shrimp (marinated in olive oil and basil) salad. Optional: couple dashes of balsamic vinegar on shrimp. Any combination of the salad will increase the IF rating if you are careful with your dressing. Try the Senior Physical Therapists salad dressing recipe for a mega bomb of goodness and IF rating.
