I love soup! We’ve been eating all kinds of hearty soups with sourdough bread as a side. You just can’t beat it for a warming comforting meal during these deary winter days!
I make almost the same quite often…and my mother before me. I use V8 juice as the liquid sometimes. And in addition to the vegetables you mentioned, I add whatever veg might be languishing in my freezer…corn…green beans…
I think it’s time to put a pot on very soon!
Um that sounds yummy!
