I found this soup somewhat boring and mostly flavorless. It's what my grandmother would have called a "kitchen sink" soup - throw whatever veggies you have into a pot with some herbs, salt and water and it's dinner. While very easy to throw together, it lacked flavor and robustness. I also doubled the herbs and it didn't help. Won't make it again.
Johnny
The herb mixture it calls for is really a pesto without the pine nuts, and unless you are doubling the quantity, it simply doesn't work in the food processor, so all that time-saving business isn't quite true. I had to scrape out the ingredients into my immersion blender, and even after adding extra olive oil it never became something you could drizzle.

"Chunky," means it's not puréed.

Isn't a millimeter on the order of less than a 1/16th of an inch?
How is that chunky?

This is a very simple soup that reminded me of 1960s French restaurants' first course at lunch. A simple soup with whatever vegetables were around. I sliced the vegetables by hand (what happened to my 1 mm blade?). The next day, when I added some left-over roast chicken and some cooked quinoa it was much better.
