Vegetable Soup

Surprise!  I made soup for dinner again.  I know I have said this multiple times already,  but I am loving this chilly weather and all the comfort food.  I really missed enjoying warm homemade soup on a cold night.  Soup just doesn't taste as good when it is 90 degrees outside ;)  So tonight I made vegetable soup and it was fantastic!

YUM!  You can even see the steam :)
