This soup was a great way to use up the veggies in the fridge and give us a warm bowl of soup and the beach (the wind made it chilly). I would definately make this again. Thank you for posting. Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag game.

Just as described.... very thick and full of veggies! I made this as written, but pureed about 1/3 of the soup (just my preference). It was absolutely delicious. This is the type of recipe that comes in handy when you have leftovers from a party-sized raw veggie tray. Thanx for posting!
