Homemade vegetable soup is simple and easy to make. On busy days, I can put a pot of this soup on and know that my family will have a delicious, nutritious meal without a lot of fuss on my part.
This is the same recipe for homemade vegetable soup prepared in my grandmother’s and mother’s kitchens while I was growing up. It was always a cool weather favorite of mine.

Robyn ~ I do believe I am a southern wanna-be! I make a pot of soup every week during the fall & winter months – in fact I make a pot of soup until the weather is hot! This looks great although the okra looks mighty suspicious – LOL! See you tonight!
I also love vegetable soup and yours looks so full of goodness, especially with that nice piece of cornbread on the side.
Great bloggers must think alike as i posted about my homemade vegetable soup recipe this week too. i love making it with tomato juice I canned myself with tomatoes grown in our garden. perfect meal for these chilly fall nights.
