Oh! I just saw this because I looked up the thread for some other reason. You should post yours first, in case these are like you already make.
Broth: Tomato or vegetable juice, plus equal amounts of water.
Spices: Bay leaf, rosemary, thyme, sage, oregano, garlic powder, S&P, and maybe one or two of those little kosher vegetable bullion cubes if you've got them (they're salty, so reduce the salt if you do that.)
Diced potatoes and any other root vegetables you want
Fresh or frozen other vegetables--green beans, lima beans, corn, carrots, etc. Anything that doesn't get too mushy.
Eat.
Broth: Vegetable stock plus a can of diced tomatoes
Spices: About the same as above
Garlic, carrots, celery, maybe onions
Barley (about a third of what you want the final volume to be)
Also, eat that too.
Oh, and so I made cream of tomato soup today (vegetarian, but not vegan), because my Little Muffin wanted some and we didn't have any in cans, but I didn't have the crap it said in any of the recipes I could find, so I had to wing it, and it turned out pretty good anyway. (Ha. I was, like, halfway through that sentence, and I decided it was getting too long, so I made it longer ON PURPOSE. I reiterate: Ha.)
So. I took a couple of cans of diced tomatoes and simmered them for a while with a wedge of an onion, a bay leaf (well, two small ones), thyme, marjoram, basil, white pepper, celery seed, something else I'm forgetting, plus a little salt and sugar until it tasted right. I let that cook about half an hour or something until it was all married, then made a thickish white sauce, ran the tomato stuff through the blender (after removing the onion and bay leaves), and added it back to the pot, adding milk until it was the right consistency.
I did mess up a little by adjusting the white sauce too late in the game, so it had a little tetch of the raw flour thing going on, but I won't do that next time. Probably.
