Paprika, this is how I make my veggie soup. The proportions are never the same, so my soups are always different.

1 chopped onion
several stalks of celery
1 jalapeno pepper
handful of baby carrots
chopped cabbage (amount varies)
several potatoes (sliced)
1/4 cup barley
15 oz. can tomato sauce (or tomato paste)
At this point I may add whatever is in my fridge that needs to be used up (cooked beans,green beans, corn, cauliflower, broccoli , etc.)
salt, pepper, garlic, onion flakes, and any spices or herbs that sound good at the time)

By this time my soup pot is full. So I add some water, put on the lid, and just let it cook.

When the soup is cooked and cooled, I store it in the fridge. If I take it with me when visiting my grandboys, I use a plastic container to carry my individual meal. At home I use a large soup mug.

By the way, there are lots of soup recipes posted here, on fatfreevegan.com, and in Mary McDougall's cookbooks. You need to find a few that you really like. Hope this helps.
