This keeps well in the refrigerator and reheats well, so it makes a fast meal for lunch later in the week.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 6-8

• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 carrot, cut in half lengthwise, then sliced
• ½ teaspoon minced garlic

Place the onion, bell pepper, carrot, and garlic in a large pot with the vegetable broth. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4-5 minutes.
