I just made a large pot of vegetable soup, tasted it and something is missing.
I sauteed onions, celery, garlic and roasted red peppers and tomotoes in olive oil. Put them thru the food processor to puree and added them to my water to start the stock. I added leeks, green onions, sliced turnips, green beans, fresh dill, italian parsley, cilantro, oregano, sliced carrots, diced mushrooms, pureed tomatoes, and my usual seasonings. After simmering for an hour I tasted it and there is something missing that I can't put my finger on. Any suggestions?

You should always throw a bay leaf in, next time try roasting your vegetables before you puree them.

Maybe you shouldn't have sauteed and pureed the veggies?

I think an hour is way too much, especially for just veggies.
