I made alphabet vegetable soup a couple of days ago. Easy. Tomato or vegetable juice, onions, celery, carrots, all squashes, bell peppers, browned beef of some sort (optional), bouillon or broth. Use veggies you have on hand. It doesn't matter. I used low sodium everything if it was canned. If you're not using the meat, throw in a can of rinsed beans for the protein. Or shave some parmesan cheese on top.
