While I enjoyed making soup from scratch, time doesn't often allow me to spend hours in the kitchen. This fast soup gets a head start from frozen vegetables and leftover meat.

Ingredients

  • 1 quart chicken broth or stock
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped cabbage
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • Dash sugar
  • 1/4 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 1 cup leftover cubed cooked chicken or beef roast

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, bring the broth, tomatoes, onion, cabbage, vegetables and seasonings to a boil. Add macaroni; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until pasta is tender. Add meat; heat through.
