Marya's Vegetable Soup

1. Saute (in olive oil) for 5 mintues:
• 2/3 c. sliced carrots
• 1/2 c. diced onion
• 1 can of corn (drained/dried) *I usually drain, and add them the last minute so the saute-mix doesn't get too watery from the moist canned corn.
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
2. Add:
• 3 c. broth (use either chicken or beef bouillon, or combine--good any combo)
• 1- 14 oz. OR 28 oz. can of diced tomatoes (drained)
• 1/2 tsp. dried basil
• 1/4 tsp. oregano
• 1/4 tsp. salt
3. Simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Add, and simmer for 5 more minutes:
• 1-2 potatoes dieced (approximately cm cubes)
• 1/2 c. diced zucchini (appproximately)
5. Pour a healthy spoonfull (possibly even 1/4 cup) of Balsamic Vinegar into the soup and stir; taste for RIGHTNESS, and vwahh-laahh!

*None of the measurements need to be exact, and you'll be able to eye up "enough" when you've done this a bunch of times.  Also, I just make with whichever of the above ingredients are in the house; you can add or remove any of the veggies, and it will still be good.  Enjoy!
