Hearty Vegetable Soup Recipe

[ 2 ] March 12, 2012 |

This hearty vegetable soup recipe was a cinch to prepare and so satisfying. You see, I just thought that winter was over, but Mother Nature pulled a fast one on us, and Texas was cold and rainy today, prompting me to raid the pantry for soup ingredients. Voila. A recipe that everyone in my house loved.
