=DIRECTIONS=

Combine all seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl.

Place a heavy 10-quart pot, preferably nonstick, over high heat and add 6 cups of vegetable stock. Bring to a full boil, add all the seasoning mix and ¼ of each vegetable. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 14 to 16 minutes. Strain the cooked vegetables and, reserving the broth, transfer them to a food processor. Puree the vegetables, adding a little of the reserved broth if necessary, until they are liquefied, about 2 to 3 minutes. Return the pureed mixture to the pot, add the remaining 4 cups of stock and the apple juice, mix together, and bring to a boil. Add the remaining vegetables and return the mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 25 to 30 minutes.
