Liz's Easy Vegetable Soup
Recently I made this easy soup for a Granny Camp gathering I hosted and it was a hit!! I usually offer a vegetarian option at the Granny Camp gatherings and at many family meals. A couple of my good friends and my daughter are vegetarian. Plus, the more plant based recipes I can add to my repertoire the better.
