Looking for a really good vegetable soup recipe?

does anyone have a really good homemade vegetable soup recipe to share..... thank you!!!Looking for a really good vegetable soup recipe?
I just tried this soup out the other day and it was so good! If you want it to be all vegetables, you can omit the chicken and add other vegetables that you think would be good in its place.





Cook Time: 25 minutes Serves: 4-6 Easy





Ingredients:





2 tablespoons vegetable oil


1 onion, finely diced


1 yellow bell pepper, diced


1 jalapeno, seeded and diced


Salt and freshly ground black pepper


1/2 teaspoon ground cumin


32 ounces low-sodium chicken broth


1 (14.5-ounce) can diced Mexican style tomatoes


1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed


1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro, plus 2 tablespoons


1 (12-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast, diced


1 cup crushed tortilla chips


Sour cream, for topping


Monterey Jack, shredded, for topping


2 limes, wedged





Directions:





In a large heavy bottomed pot, heat the oil on medium-high heat. Saute the onions. Add bell pepper, jalapenos, salt and pepper. Cook until the onions become translucent. Add the cumin and stir until fragrant. Add the chicken broth, tomatoes, corn, and 1/4 cup of the cilantro. Add the diced chicken and cook through for about 10 minutes. Season with salt, to taste.





Ladle soup into bowls and divide the crushed tortilla chips between the bowls. Top with sour cream, Monterey jack cheese, cilantro, sliced avocado, and lime wedges.Looking for a really good vegetable soup recipe?
The best one I ever found is on Good Housekeeping Magazine's webside - it's their diet soup - tastes so good just as in the recipe, and then you can add different things and seasonings to make it different. Very handy to have in the freezer.
