Pic2-4: gross 'vegetable stew', sliced potatoes
- It doesn't look as nice when water is added: unpleasantness personified.
- I added sliced potatoes (they are much better,) but to no avail.
with zucchinis, carrots, tomatoes, green chile
This would have been an excellent vegetable soup if only I'd tossed the reeking starter.
Instead it became merely acceptable because that onion/cabbage reek and taste remained a strong background.
Try these vegetables without the dry stuff above, and you'll be quite happy with the result.

Pic5-7:
zucchinis, carrots and tomato soup
-
I should have just tossed the starter stuff.
These later compensations would have tasted so much better without that. - Instead I tried masking it by adding other things. That was not entirely successful the 1st time.
- Zucchinis, carrots and tomato soup.
That would have been very nice, without you know what.
Pic8: green chilePic9: served
Pic10: with cream
- With green chile to deaden my taste buds, it finally became reasonably enjoyable.
This would have / could have been a great soup. Sadly, I didn't toss the starter. - Cream makes everything better.
and I added even more ...
I still had about 4 quarts of leftover soup.
Adding 4 more vegetables finally pushed the onion/cabbage reek far enough in the background as to no longer matter.
