Tomato Mirepoix Soup

Tomato Mirepoix Soup

Been dealing with a bad cold and this was the perfect dinner and is very healthy! This was made with a basic mirepoix of carrots, onions and celery. I also transferred it to a crock pot and put it on low, so I could go back for more later. This is served with grilled cheese sandwiches

1 tablespoon paprika

1 teaspoon oregano

1 teaspoon thyme

1 teaspoon rosemary

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

2 bay leaves

Directions,

1. heat large skillet to medium high and add the 1/4 butter, carrots, onions and celery and cook till onions are translucent, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
