Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 (12 ounce) bag green beans, corn, carrots & peas
• 1 (12 ounce) bag broccoli, carrots, sugar snap peas, & water chestnuts or 1 (12 ounce) bag broccoli, corn, carrots, cauliflower & red peppers
• 4 chicken bouillon cubes
• 1 -2 cup water
• 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
• broiled chicken, diced (optional)
• 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (optional)

Recipe

• 1 steam the veggies in the microwave as directed on each of the bags you choose to use.
• 2 dissolve bouillon cubes in 1 cup of hot water. combine vegetables, bouillon broth, sugar and tomatoes in large sauce pan. added more water to cover vegetables if necessary. chicken and/or chickpeas can be added if desired. let simmer for 15 minutes or until heated thoroughly.
• 3 notes: we like the sugar in it because it cuts some of the acidity of the tomatoes. it also works well to place all the ingredients in a crock-pot and refrigerate overnight. then just heat for about 4 hours on low for an easy meal the next day.
