Try the food network they have the most phenomenal recipes from some of the worlds greatest chefs. The recipes are so good you will use it on a daily basis. I find my self depending on the recipes to get me through a pinch and they haven't failed me yet. I went to Martha Stewart recipes and she had over thirty vegetable soup recipes to choose from and that was only one of the many to choose from. www.foodnetwork.com
Vegetable Chowder
3 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, diced (about 2 cups)
2 medium red bell peppers, seeds and ribs removed, diced (about 2 1/2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
3 cups milk
4 medium baking potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
8 ears corn, kernels removed (about 4 cups)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds green beans, ends trimmed, broken into 1-inch pieces (about 6 cups)
Hot pepper sauce, for serving (optional)
1. In a Dutch oven or 5-quart pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, bell peppers, and thyme; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add milk, potatoes, and 5 cups water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until potatoes are almost tender, about 8 minutes.
3. Stir in corn, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Simmer until corn is tender, about 3 minutes.
4. With a slotted spoon, transfer 3 cups of the solids to a blender; purée until smooth. Return to pot; add green beans. Bring to a simmer; cook until beans are tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Season again with salt; serve with hot pepper sauce, if desired.

Note: To freeze, cool chowder completely before transferring to airtight containers; leave 1 inch of space at the top. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat over low heat (or in microwave).
