Veggie n ham soup

OMG, i cant believe my mom and my sister were away for the whole afternoon today and came back at like 9. Lucky that I didn't get lazy and actually prepared soup for them. I call this the "Ultimate Energy Soup", Lol, this soup is my new invention:p its super easy to prepare and can be done in half an hour (maybe i just work too fast:3) the result is super amazing, except for the fact that i accidentally put too much pepper in it..oh and I also added rice in it for dinner:3 so good man! Hope uguys enjoy;) if you are going for vegan, just leave out the ham and add some mushrooms or other veggies in it, this soup recipe is just a base, you can do whatever you want.
