This looks good. I have a question though....how filling is soup really? I never really consider soup a meal and usually end up hungry or not fully satisfied in an hour. Am I doing it wrong?

Ye ingredients:
Well, to make this a bit thicker (which usually tricks me into thinking it's more filling) you could make a roux. All you need is a couple tbs of flour in between sweating the veggies and pouring in the broth. Mix in and brown up the flour a bit, this helps give a nutty flavor the more you brown but thickens less the more you brown.
If you're not on a diet this then makes a pretty good pot pie filling, too (or just put in a ceramic oven safe bowl and put a square of puff pastry on top at 400 F, perhaps a bit of egg wash for color).
If it's too soupy you can also experiment with adding noodles or rice to suck up excess moisture and give the whole thing a bit more structure.
I'd also probably add celery in the sweat (because France) and mushrooms (both because I love mushrooms and the earthy/savory flavor helps it not be so leafy/veggie/unsatisfying).
The embedding isn't exactly clear from the markup box:

Back to soup: it seems adding potatoes really thickens soup up. I'm going to try increasing the ratio of potatoes, and making bigger batches.
How many people are you trying to feed? That amount of ingredients might be good for 2-4 bowls of soup. This recipe I posted makes a lot of soup that's really filling.
Soup is like other food. More stuff=more filling. If it has a lot of broth, but not a whole lot of stuff, then yeah, you'll get hungry quicker. As a single (and broke) dude, my strategy is to make really dense soups that I can then stretch out by adding broth.
