Notes

NOTE: While I used 16-oz. vegetable broth, if you prefer a slightly thicker soup you can decrease the broth to 8-oz. This is a personal preference issue, depending on how thick you like your soups.
 
NOTE: Salt and pepper according to your taste. I found the larger amounts better, but you may prefer this with less.
