To me (and many people), there’s nothing more comforting than a warm bowl of soup on a cold day. Here’s a delicious vegetable soup that’s easy to put together and cooks up in less than an hour. Other than opening a can, you can’t get much easier than that! As written, this recipe makes four meal-size servings. However, if you need more, it can very easily be increased.

Below is a video demonstration of how to make the soup. The written recipe follows the video. I hope this helps!!

Enjoy!
