Simmer the soup until the veggies are tender. Puree in blender or
food processor until smooth. Add salt/pepper to taste.

Sally's notes: Instead of stock of bouillon cubes, you can take out
1/2c soup after pureeing and dissolve a T of miso in it, then return
it to the pot and mix. Almost all the combos are good with the
addition of 1/2 an onion and a clove or two of garlic sauteed in
sherry. Other possible additions (not combined of course) include: 1T
tomato paste, 1/2c leftover beans or grains, a few dried mushrooms or
dried tomatoes, a few tablespoons of sauerkraut, a T of capers or
chopped pickle added before serving, toasted pumpkin/squash seeds or
wheat germ sprinkled on top.
