Recipe Review and re-post - AMAZING vegetable soup

[Guest guest]

Gleaned this one from the files. Since we are under a pile of snow and hubby is

sick, this soup seemed appealing. The house smelled fabulous while it was

cooking, and I was not disappointed when I tried some! Very yummy, filling, and

warming. Fantastic for a cold, snowy evening. Recipe is below
