Vegetable Soup

Submitted by Irmgard

"I clipped this recipe from a magazine years ago and it is one of the best vegetable soups I've ever eaten. I don't make it as often as I'd like because it takes a lot of time to prepare and cook but the final result is well worth the effort."

This soup is fine, but I don't believe it's worth the long cooking time. It's somewhat bland tasting. I am partial to another recipe that I found on recipezaar.com. It's the Garden Vegetable soup. That one take much less time and I personally think it tastes much better.

very easy to make a lot of preparation but well worth the end result. Have to admit I omited celery as I don't like it but still very flavoursome.
