An old friend gave me this recipe and it is so heart-warming in the cold, winter months. I think it is even more flavorful the next day and it's best made the day before serving. Leftovers freeze well.-Terri Lowe, Lumberton, Texas

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I usually add whatever vegetables I have on hand, and it always turns out great.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I usually add a little bit of extra sausage and potatoes, and I always serve it with a side of crusty bread.
