2 cups white potatoes, cut in 2-inch strips
2 cups carrots, sliced
4 cups summer squash, cut in 1-inch squares

1 15-oz can sweet corn, rinsed and drained (or 2 ears fresh corn, 1-1/2 cups)
1 teaspoon thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 stalk scallion, chopped
1/2 small hot pepper, chopped
1 cup onion, coarsely chopped
1 cup tomatoes, diced
(Add other favorite vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, etc.)

Heat water and bouillon in a large pot and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and carrots to the broth and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients except for the tomatoes and continue cooking for 15 minutes over medium heat. Remove 4 chunks of squash and puree in blender.
