Hendey](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/lisa-m-hendey) *[![yellow_squash](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/yellow_squash-150x143.jpg?width=150&height=143&name=yellow_squash-150x143.jpg "yellow_squash")](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/yellow_squash.jpg)Today's meatless recipe comes courtesy of Steve Nelson, SQPN Executive Director and Host of [On the U](http://sqpn.com/category/talk-and-interview/young-adults/on-the-u/).  ![](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png "More...") * **Steve's Simple Veggie Stew** 2 cans of tomato soup, prepared according to the label.  (Probably feeds 4 people, I guess) Add 1 chopped yellow squash Add 1 chopped zucchini Add 1/2 of a chopped white onion  (adjust according to preferences) Add 2 chopped red potatoes  (I like mine mostly peeled) Add 2 chopped carrots (about the same amount as a yellow squash) Add 1/2 tsp of basil Add 1/2 tsp of oregano Simmer at least until the potatoes are cooked.  Serve with some garlic croutons and you're all set! That's about it.  I usually chop things into about 1/2 pieces because I'm lazy and I'm afraid of my chopping skills.  That makes it more like a chunky stew, but it you're a whiz at chopping you might like something more elegant. *Do you have a meatless recipe to share?  Comment below or email Lisa@CatholicMom.com.* ### Share this article [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2010%2F02%2F22%2Fmeatless-lenten-recipe-steves-simple-veggie-stew%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2010%2F02%2F22%2Fmeatless-lenten-recipe-steves-simple-veggie-stew%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2010%2F02%2F22%2Fmeatless-lenten-recipe-steves-simple-veggie-stew%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Meatless%20Lenten%20Recipe%20-%20Steve%27s%20Simple%20Veggie%20Stew) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2010%2F02%2F22%2Fmeatless-lenten-recipe-steves-simple-veggie-stew%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2010%2F02%2F22%2Fmeatless-lenten-recipe-steves-simple-veggie-stew%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ** #### About the Author ![Lisa M.
