Most soup recipes call for plenty of broth of stock, but sometimes you need a warm, filling meal and you don't have any prepared broth on hand. Thanks to some flavorful ingredients like garlic, ginger, onions, bay leaf, and dried herbs, this vegetable soup makes its own broth. It's an easy and cost-effective vegan and vegetarian meal. Even though it's not stock-based, this warming vegetable soup has plenty of flavor thanks to the liberal use of herbs and spices. Plus, because success doesn't rely on exact measurements, this recipe is a great candidate for experimentation. Try adding beans or changing the vegetables to suit your taste. Serve the herbed vegetable soup with crusty bread, cornbread, crackers, or a green salad for a complete meal.
