Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or cooking oil of your choice)
- 3/4 cup carrot (diced)
- 1 cup onion (chopped)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 2 cups summer or winter squash (diced - fresh or frozen)
- 1 1/2 cups corn (fresh or frozen or a 15-oz can (drained and rinsed))
- 1 1/2 cups cooked beans (any type or a 15-oz can (low-sodium, drained and rinsed))
- 1 can low-sodium diced tomatoes (14.5 ounces or 2 cups diced fresh)
- 3 cups any flavor broth (low-sodium )
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
