(From http://www.drmcdougall.com/November 2007)

This keeps well in the refrigerator and reheats well, so it makes a fast meal for lunch later in the week.

1 bell pepper, chopped

1 carrot, cut in half lengthwise, then sliced

1/2 t. minced garlic

1/2 c. vegetable broth

1 bunch green onions, cut into 1 inch pieces
