By Thom7747

Donna's vegetable soup will give you a warmth of home. This is a full bodied soup with great flavor. Everyone who taste it just raves about its great taste. After you sauté the potatoes and onions then you can add about anything you have around the house. A good time to take all those saved vegetables in the refrigerator and put them in the soup.
