The Soup That Won the War- Pepper Pot Soup (Vegetarian)

subheading: (all amounts approximate- this is soup, so just go with it):

1 cup of dried pantry items- lentils, beans, barley, rice, etc, (Use whatever you have, but choose items with a similar soak time for rehydration. Or, if you prefer, use canned ones that don't need to be soaked)

1 to 2 cups of root veggies (carrots, onions, celery, leftover Brussels sprouts, etc)

2 cloves of garlic.

3 to 4 cups of bell peppers (I used traffic light colours)

Any kind of hot or spicy peppers you have- to your own taste (I used jalapenos, pickled banana peppers, dried paprika, crushed black peppercorns, and dried red pepper flakes- it is called pepper pot soup after all).

4 to 5 cups of vegetable broth.

Any other "scrounged" items you desire- I threw in a few tomatoes that needed using up, and some dried shiitakes. (soup is always good for using up leftovers).

Meat substitute if desired. Since I was grabbing my dried items anyway, I threw in a cup or so of dried soy chik'n pieces.

½ tsp. thyme.

½ tsp. marjoram.

1 tsp. cumin (secret ingredient).

salt to taste.
