Relatively Simple
A hearty vegetable soup, thick in consistency it is warm and filling for a cold winter's night. It can consist of any combination of vegetables so if there are some in the recipe you can’t lay your hands on just omit and increase the amount of another. You can also remove the bacon and change the chicken stock to vegetable to make this purely a vegetarian dish.
