How good do those veggies look?! I am happy that the weather is getting cooler and I can make soups and stews that seemed too heavy for hot summer days.

I like this recipe because you can change it up depending on what you have on hand. No spicy tomatoes? Use a can of regular tomatoes and a couple of shakes of red pepper flakes. Have some broccoli or green beans that need using? Chuck those in. Tonight I used zucchini, kale (cut up the stems and put them in earlier), a leek, and tarragon. Also if you are not vegan/vegetarian you can use chicken broth, or a parmesan rind, and a sprinkle of the parm on top. Be sure to season your items as you cook them. This dish definitely needs salt and pepper.
