(I am 66). Use any canned vegetables you like, except beets. Drain the veg's , so you don't have the extra salt, etc.. Add a splash of oil to give the soup a stocky look, Add several beef or chicken bullion cubes for meat flavor. Use tomato soup or sauce or paste for the tomato flavor. I put in a can or two of diced or stewed tomatoes, break up the stewed tomatoes. Can add fresh veg's if you want, potatoes, carrots, celery or onion, or stick to all canned. Use whatever seasonings you want, my granddaughter age 12 goes through the spice drawer to see how many different ones she can find to put in. I haven't really said what exactly vegs to add cause that depends on what you like and what you have on hand. I like to put sauerkraut in mine. How many cans you use depends, again, on what you have and how much you want to make. Let it all simmer to meld the flavors.
