This sounds great. I made vegetable soup last week but I started with meat and used the broth. I'd like to make it with just veggies sometimes. I used carrots, corn, green beans, limas, and great northern beans.... oh, and crushed tomatoes.

My DH can't eat much meat at all so we go meatless most of the time. It was challanging at first,but not any more! LOL
