My husband and I eat soup at every supper. This is a vegan soup that I make at least 3 times a month. We love it that much. It makes a large quantity. I usually freeze half. During fall and winter, I use pumpkin or butternut squash. In the summer, I use green zucchini. I add lots of flavorful ingredients, so we never add salt.

Ingredients

  • extra-virgin olive oil: 2 Tbsp
  • carrots: 4 piece (diced)
  • medium onion: 1 piece (diced)
  • red bell pepper: 0.5 piece (diced)
  • celery stalk: 1 piece (diced)
