Delicious clear your vegetable bin soup. The flavour will vary depending on the vegetables you have. Always use carrots, onions, celery, and garlic in some form. Red or yellow peppers add colour. Cauliflower and celery add fibre. Ground beef adds protein. The measurements are a suggestion. Add more or less depending on what vegetables you have. I chopped all of the vegetables in my mini chopper for ease of prep, so all the vegetables were finely chopped. When you serve the soup, you could add some half and half cream to make it a cream soup. This could be made in a stovetop pot.
