    Hi always use fresh or frozen veggies over canned because of the high sodium. Adding barley is great too because it adds protein and makes the soup more filling. I buy canned tomatoes with low sodium. Walmart sells soup veggies in the freezer sections with added tomatoes. I also add fresh cabbage yum:)

    Squash (Pumpkin)
    Onion
    Carrots
    Potato
    Some split peas
    Whatever spices are on hand (e.g., garlic powder, roasted red pepper) and boil down puree with a hand blender

    Using the potatoe / split peas makes a nice hearty / healthy soup!

    Easy thing is you can add pretty much whatever you want (roasted veggies good too)
