Instructions: Fireside/Simon & Schuster. Its really satisfying.

In a soup pot, "saute" the onions and garlic in your favorite broth for about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, potato, zucchini, green beans, paprika, bay leaves, and cayenne, and "saute" for 2 minutes. Add the water, sherry, and salt. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for about 1/2 an hour, until the veggies are just barely tender. Add the peppers and mushrooms to the pot and simmer briskly for 5 minutes, adding a little more water if needed. Finally, just before serving, stir in the artichoke hearts and peas and simmer for a few minutes until heated through.
