Soup time: Vegetable Noodle Soup

While I adore the warm outdoor days of cooking on the grill, it's nice to think that the soup and comfort food days are ahead. The other day I wanted to use up some of the garden veggies, so I made a pot of vegetable soup.

8 chicken bouillon cubes

8 cups water

1 zucchini, quartered and sliced

1 summer squash, quartered and sliced with seeds removed

1 can diced tomatoes

3 plum tomatoes, diced

10 baby carrots, diced

2 celery ribs, sliced

1 tsp. Italian seasoning

1 tsp. garlic salt

Fresh oregano and rosemary to taste

1 1/2 cups noodles

Place bouillon cubes in water until boiling. Add vegetables and seasoning. Simmer for about 20 minutes. Add noodles, continue to simmer about 15 minutes.
