Sweat onions and carrots in very small splash of EVOO until soft. Add garlic. Cook until soft. Add celery and peppers. Cook low about 2 mins until bright. Add Tomatoes and spices and cook another 10 mins. Add broth and bring to boil. Add potatoes. Cook until fork tender. Add beans, zuccini and peas.

I beg to differ.... I had the best garlic and veg soup yesterday.
Just a heap of everything that was available in a pot of stock with garlic cook, blend when cool and reheat as needed with a little added cream.
OK this is " war" .......LOL

lol....how about we call it a tie.

OK - I think that is good. I counted up and we ended up with about 10 different veg in the one I made - had so much that I have frozen a heap - will need to stop doing that or we will end up with no room in there for the meat.........LOL.
OK - a tie it is.

You know what I luv about butter beans? They thicken without the need for flour or corn starch. Cuts the carbs down and makes it so much healthier.
SockFuzz
ah, good idea butter beans

You girls are making me hungry!!! Mine is such an ol' fashion soup and much more simple,and a lot less variations of vegetables. How much would you have to spend on ALL those vegetables?? LOL i may try the butter beans,can I do that and use less potatoes?

Seeking, I buy my veggies fresh at a local farmers market so it isn't too bad pricewise. But really, when you consider the cost of buying packaged foods, fresh isn't really higher. Yes, butter beans are a great alternative to potatoes. Add them to all your soups and stews. They thicken well and add a little flavor. If you cook them long enough, they will completely disolve.

Oh wow sounds good, especially if I am going vegan nothing that is for bitten in there.
Send me some.....lol
