re: Anyone know a good Vegetable soup recipe?

I would remove the bell pepper(it has an over powering taste to it in soups and sauces) and definitely put in diced turnips along with pickled pork diced and slightly rendered they become tasty as hell in the case of both items. One item that isn't a veggie(kind of hard to tell it is a grain) but is good for appearance and texture in the soup is barley flakes. Tomato paste(two small cans) slightly "browned" in the pot adds a noticeable je'ne sai qoui to the mix and I use Del Monte original recipe tomatoes pureed for the overall tomato profile.
