Any good vegetable soup recipes?

I Made some field peas the other night and have tons left over. I really do not want to throw them away but don't really know of any recipes in which I could use them. If you know of any let me know, it doesn't necessarily have to be soup.Any good vegetable soup recipes?
This isn't vegetable soup but you said any recipes with peas.





Pea Salad





16 oz. fresh peas, cooked and drained


8 - 12 oz. sour cream or plain yogurt


6 - 8 crisp slices of bacon


salt and pepper





Crumble bacon and combine with peas and sour cream. Add salt and pepper to taste.Any good vegetable soup recipes?
This recipe was given to me by a friend, and it is delicious! It makes a large quantity, but that's so that you can freeze it for later. P.S. The name is one that I gave it. :-)








Nancy's Yummy Luscious Vegetable Soup





Preparation Time: 5:00


Serves: 20








(Inexpensive Beef Roast, Browned, and cut into cubes)





3 cans concentrated beef broth


2 quarts tomato juice


2 quarts water


1 Tbsp. thyme


1 Tbsp. oregano


4 ribs of celery, sliced


4 healthy carrots, peeled and sliced


1 large onion, chopped


1 medium turnip, peeled and diced


2 quarts tomatoes, in chunks


1-1/2 quart corn, fresh or frozen (1 bag)


1-1/2 quarts green beans, fresh or frozen


1 bag frozen baby lima beans


1 10 oz. pkg. frozen okra


3/4 cup dry barley








1. Place all ingredients in a large pot in about the order given. Cook and simmer gently for several hours, until all the vegetables are tender, and the flavors are blended nicely.





2. When it suits your taste, cool, then place in freezer containers - not quite full to allow for expansion.





NOTE#1:





These ingredients are only a start. Feel free to add leftover beef, or any other vegetable that suits your fancy. Cabbage, peas, and other beans would be great, but avoid potatoes, as they turn mealy when frozen. Also, vary the seasonings with garlic, marjoram, pepper, etc.





Note#2:





Make it a little thick, then freeze it in 1/2 gallon ice cream tubs. When it's time to eat it, thaw, simmer, and add a little water (or V-8 juice).
My favorite veggie soup goes like this:


1.melt 2tbs butter in soup pot


2.saute finely chopped celery and onion until they have a transparent look to them


3.add 2-4 cups of the broth of your choice (I prefer a veggie broth, or 2 cans of tomato puree) and 2 cups water and bring to a boil


4.start adding peas, carrots, broccoli (all of your fave veggies)


5. Let boil for 8-10 minutes


6. enjoy!
