This fresh veggie soup is so tasty and warms you up on a cold day. It’s loaded with healthy ingredients and flavor. I love serving this soup with a grilled provolone sandwich on the side and dipping it in the soup! You can play around with the ingredients and add more or less depending on your liking.
