soup's on!

Just made some tasty soup. I came up with this:
one good-sized potato, peeled and cubed into bite-sized pieces
a handful of baby carrots, chopped up
three stalks of celery, sliced into bite-sized pieces
One orange pepper, chopped
One small onion, chopped
Green beans, frozen
Chicken bouillon cube, dissolved in about 1/4 cup water
Olive Oil
Oregano, pepper, other seasonings to taste

The potato, celery and most of the carrots go into a pot of boiling
water. The water should just cover the veggies. While that boils,
chop up and sautee the onion, orange pepper, and some of the carrots
in olive oil. At the spices as desired. Do this over medium-high
heat. When the onions look translucent, dump in some green beans and
stir-fry until the beans are warmed up. Stir in the bouillion/water
mixture (if there are heavy particles at the bottom of the dish, add
more water and dump the rest in the pot of water). Stir-fry 30
seconds longer. Add the pot of boiling veggies and water. Yes, all
of it, provided only enough was used to cover the veggies in the
first place. This serves as the water base for the bouillion AND
captures any nutrients that leeched out of the veggies. Boil about
two minutes and then reduce heat to low or remove completely (I set
it on low because I wasn't ready to eat yet).

And whammo, food!
