VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP image

This is a very good soup to make in the summer when there are plenty of fresh vegetables available (I thought about naming it "Everything But The Kitchen Sink Soup.") There is always enough left over to freeze some for the winter. All measurements are approximate. Just be sure to use a very large pot! If in doubt, cut the recipe in half.
