I just made vegetable soup for the first time last night... it turned out alright, and was easy to make. Perhaps it's just the recipe I was using, but it wasn't much better than something I could have got out of a can, it cost considerably more to make (~$8 for the pot), and I had to wait an hour for it to cook. I dunno.... perhaps I'm missing something to the whole process, but why do people make their own soup? Is it because they have a fridge full of soup-compatible leftovers? Unfortunately my fridge contents aren't conducive to making soup.... Mongolian grill and Mexican leftovers probably don't make good soup.
Also, what's up with vegetable stock? I looked up a recipe on how to make it, and my god, that's a lot of work. I just used some boxes of stock...
