**My note: Blech! Use the real stuff! In a large kettle, saute onion and celery in oil until onions are translucent.

Add broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, carrots, zucchini, squash, tomatoes and juice, lima beans, green beans, corn, peas and water.

(If you prefer a thinner soup, more water can be added.) Stir well.

Add Spike, garlic flakes, basil, thyme, cumin, chili powder, oregano, parsley flakes, honey and tamari or soy sauce. Simmer 1 hour or until vegetables are tender.

Yield: 8 to 10 servings.
