Soup without broth

Description

The soup is simple and quick to prepare. Serve the delicious vegetarian soup immediately after cooking, while it's still hot. The listed ingredients will yield about 7-8 servings. I make this soup without broth, but if desired, you can prepare it using vegetable broth (for a vegetarian version) or meat broth.
