Soup's ON

This vegetable soup is light, hearty and flavorful with lots and lots (did I mention that?) of veggies. This recipe was perfect for a snowy day - like today with veggies from last season's F&P garden bounty. Some measurements are approximate based on other recipes. You can use your own best "guesses" and substitutions based on what's in your pantry or freezer.
