veg soup

nothing like a good soup and the ability to put one together. the simplest things can seem hard, but this is easy:
tomato sauce
green onions
baby carrots
peas
lentils [if you like them]
acini or other small bead pasta
or, rice, pre cooked, small amount
put the sauce in the pan you will use, add water to it to add to simmer time, chop the green onion and the baby carrots, add the peas, the rice/pasta and the lentils[if using lentils]
bring to a boil then simmer for 15-20 minutes, add salt and tobasco or pepper, serves four. keeps well for up to a week in a covered container in the fridge and tastes better the next day.
