Croatian Dalmatian Vegetable Soup image

This soup is very similar to Italian "Minestrone" soup. There may be some variations in ingredients, but "the basic plot" is the same. This is the way I have learned it in Dalmatia. It may be full meal because it is like stew. You may not include all ingredients I have mentioned; this is the "full house".

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.
