Take a big saucepan. Use two tablespoons of olive oil, dice garlic and onion, sweat in the oil until softened and then take everything in the vegetable drawer of the refrigerator, dice it, add it to the pot along with two to four cups of a good vegetable stock, season with salt and pepper and any other spice you like, let it simmer until everything is soft. Leave it in chunks or mash it down with a potato masher and presto you have the best tasting soup you will ever find.

My personal preference for veggies is carrots, parsnips, celery, sweet potato, white potato, brussels and any old beans you have in the house.

I make my own "no knead" bread which I have in the fridge all the time, take out a lump of that, bake it and you have a great country bread to go with your great country soup. Makes the house smell wonderful, nothing like fresh baked bread.
