Kayak School Lunch Soup

Here is a soup I make each year for Kayak School.  Proportions are changed for a normal sized batch of soup.



Kayak School Lunch Soup
INGREDIENTS:


2 parts tomato juice (I prefer Del Fratelli, avalable at Marc's supermarket)
1 part water or broth
1 bag frozen Pictsweet Seasoning Veg (onion, peppers)
fresh cilantro (chopped fine)
celery
scallions
lemon juice
minced garlic


PREPARATION:
Dump the (broth or water) in a big soup pot
Add cilantro to (broth or water) , and chop with in-pot blender 
slice scallions, add to (broth or water)
slice celery, add to (broth or water)
add in tomato juice
heat, but don't boil - the soup is best warm, with celery and onions still crunchy
Add lemon juice & black pepper for taste




for a more proteinaceous soup, add 1 pound of cubed tofu - I had of this soup tonight.
