First things first, this tea......is amazing! If it did not make me sleepy, as the name implies, I think I would drink it all day long. After tossing and turning until 3:30 AM on Monday morning I was paranoid that I would never sleep again. So, enter sleepy time tea. I went with the wellness version since my throat had been a little scratchy too. Wouldn't you know that after I drank a cup of this tea on Monday evening I slept like a champ and my scratchy throat was gone in the morning. Yeah, the tea is awesome.
Now onto yet another delicious soup from Chelsey over at Clean Eating Chelsey. I actually meant to make this in the crock pot but in my sleeplessness I forgot to turn the thing on before leaving for work. Ooops. That meant I moved everything into a pot and cooked it on the stove for about an hour.
You Will Need:
I Quart Vegetable Broth ( I actually used 1 Quart of Vegetable Broth and 1 Cup of Chicken Broth)
2 Cans Stewed Tomatoes
2 Carrots Chopped
1 Onion, Diced
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 red pepper, Diced (I used a yellow pepper. It may have made the soup a little sweet so you could always use a green pepper to tone that down a bit)
2 Cups frozen Italian green beans
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 head cabbage, shredded
salt, pepper, garlic, oregano, and basil to taste.
I poured the olive oil in the bottom of the soup pot and then sautéed the garlic and onions over low heat until the onions were transparent. I then added the remaining ingredients to the pot and brought the soup to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for one hour.
I'm sure this is crock pot-able (i think I just made up a word). Simply sauté the onions and garlic then place all ingredients in the crock pot and cook on low 4-6 hours. Had I remembered to turn mine on I could have told you how well it works, maybe next time!
I hope you all have a wonderful day. I'll be back on Friday for the High Five For Friday link party, hope to see you then!
