Red Bean and Leftover Veggie Soup

This is also a great way to use up all those leftover vegetables in your crisper—pretty much anything works in this soup.

Directions: Put into a soup pot 1 can of no-salt-added red beans (drained), 4 cups low-sodium vegetable juice like Knudsen’s Very Veggie Low-Sodium Juice, 2 to 3 teaspoons oregano or Italian-style seasoning, and 2 cups of any veggies you already have sitting in the refrigerator bin, such as carrots, celery, and onions.
