What is better than a big pot of homemade vegetable soup simmering away the day on the stove, filling your home with its delicious scent? Getting to enjoy it with the kids for dinner!
I love this recipe because it is so simple to make- you literally just put all of the ingredients into one big soup pot- and then allow the flavors to meld all day as it simmers.
The beef bones will leave behind some delicious chewy pieces of meat, the potatoes give the soup some bite- and the veggies are just perfect in the broth!
