One of the easiest ways to get more of the veggies you love is to make delicious vegetable soup. You can use the soup as an appetizer or dinner meal, or simply serve it in a bowl to start your day.
Preparing Ingredients
After choosing vegetables is preparing them. The main thing that can make or break a vegetable soup is the stock used. Choosing the right stock for your soup will ensure the soup is delicious and nourishing.  
There are various types of stocks that one could use. Some of them are chicken, beef, seafood, pork, veal, ham bone, and bouillon. Another choice for stock is vegetable stock. There are many recipes for vegetable soups that call for vegetable stock, but it is often made from frozen vegetables. It is very important to defrost the frozen vegetables so that it is possible to use it to make the soup.
Making Stock
To make stock, simmer a large amount of vegetables and herbs in a large pot for about two hours. While this sounds like a lot of work, it’s really just time, and most home cooks have done it before. It’s important to keep the soup at a low simmer to prevent overcooking the vegetables. Remove the soup from the heat when it starts to thicken slightly and the vegetables are cooked through. The flavor of the stock will intensify as it cools. Add seasonings like salt, pepper, and garlic.
Choosing the Right Equipment
A blender is a great tool to make vegetable soup. And if you’re looking to save some money, I recommend a cheap blender. However, if you’re planning on making a large batch of soup, then you should invest in a high-quality blender. You can expect to pay anywhere from $100-$300 for a quality blender. Also consider investing in a stock pot instead of making soup in the microwave. Stock pots are usually more durable than microwaves and they keep your soup hot longer.
Blending Vegetables
Mix vegetable soup is a favorite winter meal in many households because it is nutritious, flavorful, and easily prepared. You don't need to limit yourself to store-bought vegetable soup recipes. You can easily create your own healthy, delicious and nutritious vegetable soup using ingredients you already have in your kitchen. All you need to do is blend the vegetables in a food processor or blender until smooth and add water to thin the soup.
Saucing It Up
The first step to making delicious vegetable soup is to clean your vegetables. You’ll need a cutting board, a knife, a strainer, and a bowl. Wash the veggies, chop them, and place them in the strainer. Place the strainer over your bowl and use the backside of the knife to press down on the top of the strainer to force all the water out.
