2 cup carrots chopped
4-5 small potatoes chopped in small pieces
I let this simmer for about an hour then added
2 cans beans, your choice
lg pkg baby spinach

This is really close to my base soup recipe I make every week.

1 qt container unsalted veg stock
carrots,
celery,
onion,
garlic,
1/2 C barley or brown rice
1 can or frozen container beans
----
Any of the following that I happen to have. I use all of my leftover veggies in this soup:

kale
spinach
bell peppers
chard
asparagus
peas
beans
zucchini
mushrooms
cauliflower (really!)
---
If I use mushrooms I typically don't add a can of crushed tomatoes, if I don't, then I add it in.

Season with a bunch of Italian seasonings, basil, oregano, and fresh cracked black pepper. Bring to a boil and cook till the veggies are tender and the flavors blend (about 1 hour on the stovetop).

This lasts us about 3 days and averages out to 180 cals per serving normally when I enter it into the database. It's also really economical since I use up all the veggies that would otherwise go to waste.
