| And drained | ||
| 1 | medium | Onion, chopped |

| 1 | 1 1/2 tsp summer savory | |

| x | Dried garlic [I'm out of | |
| Fresh :-( ] | ||
| 1 | Bay leaf | |
| 5 | cups | Water (or use part broth if |

Directions
Put everything in a large pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer about 30-40 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Serve over brown rice (or maybe potatoes). Makes 4 reasonably sized servings.
The vegetables used were the ones I happened to have on hand. Vary to suit yourself. Leeks are great in this. If I want this to be more soup-like, I add more water and a can of tomatoes, pureed. I've also put potatoes in the pot with the rest of the veggies. The possibilities are endless...
