For a quick and easy soup I buy a bag of ready prepared stew veggies, boil them up with a couple of oxo cubes. When they're cooked blitz it and voila!!

Tomato soup with carrots is great. Have done butternut squash soup and Cauliflower cheese soup - all lovely. Will be doing onion sometime this week.

I've made leek and potato soup a few times - and I'm no cook!! I just chucked into a pan a chopped onion, 3 - 4 leeks, some potatoes, salt & pepper, nutmeg and oxo cubes in enough water to cover the veg, cook until potatoes soft, whizz up with a hand blender - and eat (and put in the fridge for the next few days!!). Yum yum

I made some soup, i bought some of those ready prepared veggies, boiled them up in water, added 1 chicken stock cube and 1 vegetable stock cube, then when it was done i blended it and had some for my tea and it was lovely! Only problem was that the carrots in it wouldn't blend so had this lovely smooth soup with chunks of carrot in hehe

There used to be a recipe for courgette and cumin soup in the Green day recipe book that was absolutely yummy. It looked strangely like green sludge but it was delicious. I can't remember how to make it now and I don't have the recipe book, it's still in storage somewhere!
