Mixed Veggie Soup Recipe
The best mixed veggie soup made by quick improvise. Every time I empty out my fridge , something delicious happens.
This time I ended up making a super simple veggie soup with everything I found in the fridge.
It’s packed with good amount of greens veggies and why not , you can always add some of your favorites, even better.
Meat lovers can make this same soup with chicken or beef broth and added chunks of cooked meats.
Hope you try and like it as much as we did.
