pot luck vegetable soup
Have you ever gone into the pantry and constructed something out of whatever you had on hand? Of course you have… we’ve all done that at one time or another. This recipe came from what I had on hand… all fresh ingredients. According to one of my guests, it has a very robust flavor, and another guest said that you don't miss the meat. Since I made this up on the spur of the moment. I don’t have a lot of photos; however, I do have enough to get the idea across. I can just see this soup bubbling away on a crisp Autumn evening. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
