Tomato Vegetable Soup




We were craving basic vegetable soup - kind of like how Cambell's tasted as kids, but better. Came out pretty good. Disregard typos on ing. list - i was writing fast! trying to remember...
Saute in oil or butter the onion, garlic, herbs, carrots and celery. Add the wine. then add potatoes and stock and tomato stuff and simmer for aobut 20 mins, or til veggies are tender. Taste for seasonings, add in pasta (that you cooked in another pot) lima beans (frzen), corn (frsh or frozen), honey and fresh basil, simmer a bit more.
If you'd like, stir in 1/2 c half and half and a 1/2 cup more water at the end. But the dairy is optional. You can just add more water to thin to your liking.
we made some loaves, too, cuz we like to dip. This makes a heaping pot of soup. FreeZe a bunch it's gonna be a long winter....
