"Grandma's Harvest Soup" is a classic dish that has been passed down through generations. This hearty and flavorful soup is typically made with a variety of fresh vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes, simmered in a savory broth. The addition of tender pieces of chicken or beef adds protein and depth of flavor to the soup. Some variations of the recipe also include barley, rice, or pasta, which add texture and substance. The soup is often seasoned with a combination of herbs, spices, and a touch of sweetness, resulting in a comforting and satisfying meal that is perfect for a chilly day.

HEALTHY HARVEST SOUP
Powerhouse whole grains and autumn vegetables simmer to perfection in this comforting, vegan-friendly soup. To make the squash easier to peel and chop, pierce and microwave for a minute or two. Any type of bean or winter squash would be delicious in this soup.

This is an economical and tasty way to serve leftovers and use up any ingredients that may be lingering in the fridge. Grandma's basic template for soup (see Cook's Note) is infinitely customizable for pot after pot of something new and delicious. Be sure to save easy flavor boosters that often get thrown away, such as Parmesan rinds, leftover bones from roasted meats and dried sausage ends.

GRANDMA G'S VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP
Leave off the beef and you have a great vegetable soup! The vegetables I use are either fresh or I froze them during the harvest months. You will need a large stock pot (about 20 quart); if you don't have one large enough halve the recipe. I only make this soup once a year now. What I usually do is set aside the amount we will eat in a 2-quart sauce pan and add more water and the potatoes. I let the stock pot of soup cool and freeze the remainder in quart bags. It's great served with sandwiches, cornbread or crackers. I know all these vegetables may not be located around the world, but they are plentiful here in Southeast America in the summertime, at the markets. Some are available in frozen foods at large supermarkets. Finished amounts are an estimate.
