By adding a variety of vegetables to your soup, you are likely to get a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, C and E, potassium, magnesium, folate and the all-important dietary fiber. You can also puree some vegetables to use as a thickener for creamy soups. Pureed cauliflower, sweet potatoes or winter squash work nicely for this.
