Vegetable soup
(pleas keep in mind that this recipe is getting cooked in a very large stock pot so you may need to adjust the amounts if you are using a smaller pot.if you do cook this amour of soup you will be able to feed a larger family of your self for 2 or three weeks. if you are like me and live by your self I like freeze the soup and just take what I need.)(This soup took me about 9 hours to make it.)
