By Mary McDougall
As the days turn cooler, I like to make soup for dinner. Soups are the perfect one pot meal. All you need for dinner is a hearty soup and a great loaf of fresh whole grain bread. This is also the time of year that many gardens have an abundance of vegetables ready to harvest for your soup. This soup can easily be varied to contain whatever is most prolific in your garden this year. This also reheats well and freezes well.
