2 tbsp ginger, minced
12 each cloves, ground
1 tsp cumin seed, ground
1/2 tsp mustard seed, ground
1 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup tamari
28 oz canned whole tomatoes
1 large sweet potato
1/2 lb broccoli
1 large potato
2 qt boiling water
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup cut green beans
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 lb fresh kale

Recipe Preparation
In a large soup kettle, saute onion and garlic in oil over medium
heat. When the onions begin to soften, add the bell pepper and fresh
ginger. Mix the ground cloves, cumin, mustard seed, cardamom,
turmeric and cinnamon. Sprinkle over sauteed vegetables and stir. Add
soy sauce and juice from the canned tomatoes. Let the mixture boil,
then turn the heat down, cover and simmer gently while you prepare
the sweet potato.
Peel the sweet potato, cut out any blemishes and cut into 1" cubes.
Add to the pot along with 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, turn heat
down, cover and simmer 20 minutes. Watch carefully and stir
occasionally to keep from sticking.
Chop the broccoli stem and florets into bite-sized pieces. Wash the
white potatoes well and, leaving the peel on, chop into 1" pieces.
Add broccoli and potatoes to the pot with 2 quarts boiling water.
Cover and cook for 20 minutes.
Chop the tomatoes into small pieces. Add to the pot along with frozen
corn, beans and peas. Cover and cook for another 20 minutes.
Wash the kale, remove the stem ends and tear the leaves into small
pieces. Before adding to the pot, taste the broth and add salt as you
wish. Add kale and use a wooden spoon to push and stir it down into
the soup. Cover and simmer 20 minutes, until kale is cooked. Serve
immediately.
Good served with corn bread. Leftover soup can be frozen.

Food Tips of the Week
Diet tipsIn planning a meal plan, the important thing is to try to cut down your ingestion of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some reduced carb diet guidlines:
* Use splenda as a substitute for sugar. Many recipes that require sugar can be changed to make use of a sugar replacement instead. It is not exactly the same so you will have to do a bit of trial and error and it might not work for everything, but it gives very good results for the most part.
* Use soy flour or soy baking mix. When you require flour for baked goods, repalce it with soy flour or a baking mix such as Atkins soya baking mix. In many cases, you can convert your best loved recipes that use normal wheat flour to use these.
