Halloween Vegetable Soup

Once upon a time, I was a volunteer firefighter. That was many years ago when I was in much better shape. However, this soup was made by the wife of another volunteer. Sometimes we just all pooled whatever we had, and on a cold night after fighting fire, this was mighty tasty!
