Vegetable Soup
Good soup. I would suggest simmering the soup longer, maybe an hour on low to help really bring out the blend of flavors. Sometimes I like to modify recipes and the next time I make it I'm going to add cooked ground beef and stewed tomatoes. Let me know what you add!

Notes
Laurel Burger wrote to me and said she likes to add frozen peas, lima beans, fresh turnips, crushed tomatoes, and creamed corn to her vegetable soup. She also uses barley and pastina instead of the rice. Sounds great - Thanks for the suggestions Laurel!
