Try this bulgur vegetable soup with a beefy twist

Great tips on homesteading, frugal living, and self reliance.
	A Bulgur Vegetable Soup With a Beefy Twist I call this bulgur vegetable soup a beefy soup because I use beef-flavored TVP in addition to the cooked wheat berries to add texture and flavor to this healthy soup. For this recipe, I used canned tomato juice that a friend had given me. They were these huge, 46 fluid ounce-sized cans and they had been staring at me for months, racking me with guilt. Once I use up these cans, I plan to switch to a tablespoon or two of tomato powder and about five and a half cups of water. Dried vegetables are the next best thing to fresh and have far more nutrients than the canned or even frozen variety. A recent study has even shown that tomato powder protects against prostate cancer. The Ingredients You Will Need One fourth cup of oil 1 onion diced OR 2 tablespoons dried minced onion 2 carrots, peeled and sliced Three-fourths cup beef flavored TVP 1 cup cooked wheat berries 1 large can tomato juice OR tomato powder and 5 and a half cups water) 4 potatoes, washed and cut up (peel them if you prefer, but I like to keep the skins on) 2 cups frozen green beans 2 teaspoons salt or to taste – use less salt if you plan to use tomato juice 1 teaspoon beef bouillon One half teaspoon pepper One half teaspoon dried basil One half teaspoon garlic powder To Prepare Place your dry TVP in a large mug or bowl and just cover it with water. Allow it to sit for ten minutes. If you’re using dried, minced onions, refresh them as well by placing them in a cup and just covering them with water. Allow them to stand for about 10 minutes. Then heat the oil in a pot and add the onions and carrots. Cook for several minutes until they are browned. Put the onions, carrots and oil into a crockpot and then add all the other ingredients. Allow this to slow cook all day on low. Or you can set your crock pot on high and cook it for about five hours.
