Introduction
In an effort to always have vegetables on hand, I opted for frozen. Some frozen veggies just aren't as good as fresh so in the freezer this bag stayed until I decided that they needed to be eaten or thrown out. Who wants to throw out food in these economic times?I was inspired to make this soup with those long-forgotten frozen veggies by a similar soup made by my friend Julie. I've added some spices and used chicken broth (vegetable broth can easily be substituted for vegans and vegetarians) instead of water for more flavour.
