Vegetable soup from frozen vegetables

Description

The soup is simple and quick to prepare. You can use store-bought frozen vegetables, but many home cooks prepare their own vegetable mixes for winter. It's best to use a variety of vegetables, as this will make the flavor of the finished dish much richer and tastier. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs, croutons, and sour cream. Ladle into bowls and serve.
