There are 2 decisions to make before you start.
Do you want a clear or thick base? A clear base would involve a stock,made from meat scraps & bones with some veg and spices for flavor or from a can. There is chicken,beef,ham and vegetable broth available in most stores.
A thick base would be something like tomato juice or veg puree,which can be whatever you like.
The second decision is what vegetables you want in there and this is individual preference.
That decided, clean, peel and cut up the veg-some like to saute lightly in oil or butter for enhanced flavor-then add your base liquid and any herbs/spices desired-simmer gently to meld and develop flavors, then enjoy!
Gee-I guess I misunderstood that you wanted a recipe for VEGETABLE soup-all these other people are giving recipes for BEEF soup with vegetables added.

VEGETABLE SOUP WITH BASIL AND GARLIC
Soupe au Pistou
Active time: 35 min Start to finish: 1 1/4 hr.
For soup
2 1/2 qt water
2 medium leeks (white and pale-green parts only), thinly sliced crosswise
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 medium carrots, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
3/4 lb potatoes, peeled, quartered lengthwise, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
3/4 lb butternut or other winter squash, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 lb fresh white beans in pods, shelled, or 1 1/2 cups drained cooked white beans
Bouquet garni of 1 celery rib, 3 fresh parsley sprigs, 2 fresh thyme sprigs, and 1 bay leaf tied together with kitchen string
6 oz green beans, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
2 small zucchini (1/2 lb), cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 cup elbow macaroni
For pistou
4 large garlic cloves
Generous handful fresh basil leaves (preferably with blossoms)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 firm-ripe medium tomato, peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks
1 to 11/4 cups olive oil
Special equipment: kitchen string
Make soup:
Bring water to a boil in a 5-quart pot and simmer leeks, onion, carrots, potatoes, squash, white beans (if using fresh), and bouquet garni 30 minutes, or until beans and squash are tender but remain intact. Add green beans, zucchini, and macaroni (and cooked white beans if using) and simmer 15 minutes, or until macaroni is tender but not falling apart.
Make pistou while soup is cooking:
Pound garlic, basil, salt, and pepper to taste with a large mortar and pestle, alternating between pounding and turning with a grinding motion, until mixture forms a paste. Work in enough Parmesan to make a very stiff paste, then add about one third of tomato, pounding and grinding into the paste. Gradually work in remaining cheese and tomato with a little olive oil until mixture is a barely fluid paste. Gradually work in 1 cup oil, or enough for pistou to become a sauce. (Pistou will not be an emulsion, so it should be thoroughly mixed each time it is dished out.)
Serve soup with mortar of pistou on the side, to be added to taste by each person.
Cooks' note:
• If you don’t have a large mortar and pestle, finely chop basil and garlic and mash in a bowl with back of a spoon.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Buy a frozen pkg. of mixed veggies, or frozen vegetable soup mix. Put it in your crockpot along with a can or two of stewed tomatoes. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, chicken or beef buillion granules and let it cook all day while you are at work. Serve with cornbread muffins, (plain or add creamstyle corn and shredded cheese to batter before cooking.)
