2. Let the cooked vegetables cool down a bit.
   
3. Puree the cooked veggies in a blender or with a hand held blender.
   
4. Pour the blended mixture/puree into a sauce pot and add enough water to adjust the consistency of the soup.
   
5. Add salt & pepper to taste. Boil for 3-4 minutes. 
   
6. Serve hot.
