Easy way to make soup?!

Answers: i like chicken, asparagus, any veggie or just soups with not too many ingredients that I can whip up fast?
thanks!
use a chicken broth and water
bring to boil
add pasta and vegetables
for a beef base use a powdered beef gravy mix add 3 cups of
water and beef and vegetable
a tomato base would be tomato sauce and water
with added pasta or vegetables and so on
water bouillon cubes whatever ingredients you want
Start with 1 package dried onion soup mix. Add 3cups of water. bring to a boil and add one can of crushed tomatoes. then add whatever veg and meat you like. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
I have recently realised that FROZEN veg makes fine soup!
So, think cauliflower, carrot, broccoli, diced onion.....all preprepared, frozen veggies!
Use them just as you would fresh, and then add whichever other ingredients you like! ;-)
Canned chicken or beef broth, add diced vegetables like carrots, celery, onion, tomatoes,potatoes and simmer for a great veggie soup. Add meat, diced, or even some pasta or rice if you like.
the easiest one my mom makes:
ingredients- little pieces of boneless chicken
egg white (dont beat)
cornstarch (one tablespoon, keep it mixed in a little bowl of water)
salt
tasting salt/ajinomoto(only if u like it, not always needed)
boil water with the chicken pieces and salt..once the chicken turns white pour the corn starch milk...n allow it to thicken by stirring....n then just add the egg white n again stir. u r done.
if u wish u can add carrot or any other vegetable in it.
n oh u have to have it with chilie sauce....or sliced chilie mixed in vinegar.
Greek lentil soup

Here is a simple basic soup recipe. Adjust veggies to your own choosing and likes.
The Basic Soup Recipe
Add as many, or as few, vegetables to our “souper” soup
Yields: 25 cups Work Time: 15 minutes

? 2 cans (28 ounces each) tomatoes in juice
? 1 small head savoy cabbage (about 11/2 pounds), thinly sliced
? 2 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch slices
? 2 packages (5 ounces each) baby spinach leaves
? 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
? 2 chicken-flavor bouillon cubes or envelopes
? 1 teaspoon salt
? 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1. Coat 8-quart saucepot with nonstick cooking spray. Over medium-high heat, add carrots, celery, onions, and garlic. Cook 5 minutes.
2. Stir in tomatoes with their liquid, breaking them up with side of spoon. Add cabbage, remaining ingredients, and 12 cups water. Heat to boiling over high heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes, or until vegetables become tender. Add more salt and pepper if desired.
note: Cut recipe in half for a typical size amount of soup. However, you can make it all and freeze what you want for future 'soup' days.
