The best way to warm up on those chilly fall afternoons is with a bowl of soup
My favorite soup to eat during the fall is this yummy vegetable soup packed with veggies!
Saute the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, green pepper, and olive oil and spices.
While the onions, celery, carrots, garlic, and olive oil are sauteing, prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Add in the remaining ingredients.
