Aptly named, my Whatever Vegetable Soup is a meal that will change each time you make it. Adaptable to use any selection of vegetables you have in your fridge, you can’t really go wrong no matter the combination you use.
Perfect for cold nights, this simple meal will warm you up from the inside! Containing mostly vegetables, it is a nourishing and satisfying Thermomix vegetable soup.
It gets even better
There is a pimped up (but just as simple) version of this hearty vegetable soup in my third cookbook – Feel Good Food Made Easy – called Chunky Minestrone. This book is a collection of winter warmers and as well as a great selection of soup recipes, it also contains recipes for breakfast, right through to dinner and dessert.
FAQs on Whatever Vegetable Soup
Are there any vegetables I shouldn’t use in this?
In my experience, no. I’ve made this soup a zillion times using so many different types of vegetables. Never have I had it turn out anything less than delicious!
I can’t eat pasta, what can I use instead?
You can simply leave it out and increase some of the veg slightly. Alternatively, rice is lovely in it – if using, increase cooking time at Step 4 to 15 minutes.
I don’t have any Odds-and-Ends Stock Paste, what can I use instead?
You can use a different TMX stock paste, or use some powdered stock. Finally, you can replace the water in the recipe with liquid stock.
Can I double the recipe?
Definitely not. This recipe makes an entire TMX bowl of soup and can not be doubled.
Does Whatever Vegetable Soup freeze?
Yes, this soup freezes and defrosts well.
How’s it done?
Apart from the veggies, there are just a few staple ingredients you need to make this Thermomix vegetable soup: tinned tomatoes, oil, stock and dried herbs.
1. Throw in the vegetables and chop them up.
2. Saute with some oil for 10 minutes to get them sweating.
3. Add the liquid and flavourings and cook for 10 minutes.
4. Add the pasta and cook until al dente.
I hope you really love this hearty vegetable soup! It is a great option for a last minute dinner when you’re scraping the bottom of the veggie drawer.

THIS RECIPE!!!???
This soup is amazing! My first Thermobexta recipe and it was so easy and delicious. I didn’t add pasta, but added sweet potato as one of my veggies. Definitely will be a staple in our house! Thank you!
This is the best soup I think I’ve made! I used sweet potato, carrots, broccoli, and mushrooms, no pasta. My teenage daughter not only ate a large bowl but she said it was nice!
Definite winner for dinner ?
Thanks so much for the great feedback, Tanya! It’s different each time you make it, depending on what veg you add 🙂
Easy & delicious
I make this soup regularly using rice instead of pasta. It’s a family fave.
Delicious!! So fast & easy. Have used macaroni too. Enjoyed by the whole family.
Love this soup
Love love love this soup! This is my go-to soup when feeling under the weather. I’ve made it for family and friends too and they all rave about it! I use zucchini, carrot and mushroom as the vegetables.
I adore this recipe! Make it all the time in winter and use up whatever veges I have on hand. I don’t add pasta but often use a soup mix/quinoa mix from the supermarket. So good!
