Mom/Mamaw's Vegetable Soup

We've enjoyed this recipe for so many years. This is one of my favorite soups that my Mom lovingly prepared for us while I was growing up. It's super easy and very nutritious. I enjoy serving this with a good, crusty bread and salad. Last night we served this with Sherri's Summer Salad (recipe to follow) and I roasted some chicken breast that was basted with Italian salad dressing. That may be my kid's favorite way I prepare chicken and again, it's super easy.

Above are pictures from my Mom's 82nd Birthday last Month. We love and appreciate you, Mom...More than you know! :-)
