Kimberly,

You've got plenty of suggestions on vegies to use in your soup, but the
one vegie that I have found to make the biggest difference in a soup or
stew is butternut squash. You could substitute other winter squashes,
but butternut is my favorite.

And here's an odd one: I sometimes add some fresh squeezed orange
juice to vegie soup. I don't add enough to be able to really identify
the taste, it just adds a bit of fruitiness. I add about two or three
oranges worth to a big pot. That idea should get me thrown out of the
group, but give it a try.
