Hearty Vegetable Soup

Submitted by Eat Eat Youre skin

"I made this soup from a recipe I found in a Canadian magazine, but made a couple of yummy adaptations. It tastes better the longer it simmers, so you might want to let this one sit on the stove for a little while. This is a filling and tasty soup."
