Thats onion , red, yellow , green bell peppers, carrots , mushrooms , beans & cabbage (all finely chopped)
Due to rains, there is dearth of veggies , i would have liked to add broccoli, zucchini, cauliflower etc as well :an

Now in a pan take some olive oil & add garlic paste

Note : always use pomace olive oil for cooking, virgin & extra virgin olive oils are for salad dressing etc. that is non cooked consumption. virgin oil when cooked turns toxic.

sorry some pics are shaky , as i am cooking with one hand and clicking pics with the other :p

Final result .. if you want, you can add some macroni to it as well , as this soup came quite close to ministrone soup

Note : This is a tangy soup, plz add a pinch of sugar if u prefer
