With the veggies from my garden, plus veggies shared by my family and neighbors, sometimes the amount of homegrown veggies becomes overwhelming; usually I make spaghetti sauce, soup, use them in salads, and freeze the rest. Here is a simple soup to make using pretty much any combination of garden veggies that you have on hand! Curry is probably my favorite flavoring for soup, but if you change the spices you use, the whole soup will change dynamic. Keep the same method, and instead of curry, basil and oregano, you can use parsley, dill and pickly juice for a fresh, pickled soup; you can use tarragon, rosemary and nutmey for a holiday-tasting soup, etc. This comes out very concentrated, so a little is very filling. If its too strong, dillute it with some water or splashes of milk. It is also very good with some rice mixed in.
