more PLEASE

Can I make this without a soupmaker , will a normal sauce pan suffice ??

I made veg soup today, carrots, Swede, onion, leek, celery, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, sprinkle of dried mixed herbs, 3 veg oxo cubes, salt and pepper boiled up in a pan then mashed with a potato masher left it a little chunky. Enough for 2 for 3 days. You can add barley and chicken to make chicken broth.

Yes of course it can be made without a soup maker. I tend to use a hand blender (because it saves getting the food processor dirty). I generally make a large portion and freeze some.
I would say that my base soup concoction is as broccoli soup, maybe I have some broccoli stalks I throw in, a few carrots or whatever veg is in the bottom of the fridge plus a tin or 2 of tomatoes (fresh if I am in Cyprus).

Thank you for the recipe. Keep posting such recipes. I really loved the soup recipe and will soon try it.
