Sugarmag says:
"This is a lazy veggie soup made with a combination of fresh/frozen veggies and canned tomatoes. If you are so inclined, you could blanch, peel and chop some fresh sweet tomatoes. Fresh peas can also be used if you cook them first. Use a vegetarian soup base instead of water for a richer flavor. This is a light soup, good for summer."
