Introduction
This soup is excellent and INCREDIBLY versatile! I make this whenever I have a lot of veggies around. I also make this whenever a friend has a baby or someone needs me to bring them food for whatever reason, because it is never fail, full of nutrients, and makes enough to have lunch a couple of days myself! : ) This soup is excellent and INCREDIBLY versatile!

Directions
This recipe is one of my favorites because of it's verstility. If you don't have a long time to wait for the soup, the longer you saute the veggies the faster you can eat the soup. The truth is it usually tastes better the next day, either way! : )
1. Chop onion, celery, and garlic. Set aside in medium bowl.
2. Prepare and chop all remaining veggies. Set aside in a large bowl, mixing as you add in more veggies. {You can use as many or as little as you want. I literally empty my veggie drawer. I would avoid using broccoli, but I like my broccoli bright green so I use it on other things. : ) }
3. Using a large stock pot heat 1 Tbsp Olive Oil. Add onions and celery, saute about 5 minutes. Add garlic, saute 5 more minutes.
4. Add the rest of the veggies in, adding additional Olive Oil as neccesary. This step can take as much or as little time as you like. If you are crunched for time, add in batches and saute for 10-15 minutes before putting each batch back in the large bowl. When all are well sauteed, put all back in the stockpot and continue with directions. I like to add a little color to my veggies, but it's all a matter of personal taste!
5. Season with toasted cumin and mustard seeds, bay leaf, salt, pepper, salt-free multi-seasoning, a dash of cayenne... to taste.Add fresh herbs, veggie broth or water, and 2 cans diced tomatoes.
6. Simmer slowly until vegetables have desired consistancy, and flavors are married.
