This one works best in a non-stick soup pot. If you don't have one, you'll need to put a couple tablespoons of oil or butter in it to cook the vegetables. Ingredients: makes 2 quarts, roughly Method: Combine the veggies in a non-stick pan over medium heat, stirring frequently until the onion is clear and wilted, from 10 to 20 minutes. Add seasonings and all but a cup of stock and bring to a boil. Immediately lower the heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer gently about a half hour.
