Impromptu Simple & Hearty Soup

Last night I threw together this soup...mostly out of desperation to answer the question, "What's for dinner?" It was completely made of ingredients I had on hand in the pantry and freezer:

• Vegetable stock, 32 fl. oz. (I like the Kitchen Basics unsalted one)
• Tomato sauce, one 15oz can 
• Beans, two 15oz cans, rinsed (I used kidney beans and cannellini beans)
• Frozen mixed vegetables, one small package (corn, peas, carrots and green beans)
• Potatoes, three small, diced
• Olive oil, about one tablespoon
• Black pepper, salt, crushed bay leaves and thyme - to taste 

It only took about 15 min to assemble and about 20 more minutes to cook - just until the potatoes were tender. It was so filling - jam packed with beans and veggies -  I couldn't even finish the bowl I served myself! Some leftovers are going in the freezer, so I'll see how it holds up after being frozen awhile. It was so easy and fast, I'll certainly make this again for a weeknight meal.
