    Serves 6

Ingredients

7 bacon slices
2 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
2 cups chopped seeded tomatoes

Preparation

  1. Step 1

Increase heat and bring to boil. Add turnips and radishes; cook 2 minutes. Add carrots; cook 3 minutes. Add sugar snap peas and green beans; cook until all vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes longer. Using slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to bowl.
