45 min • 4 to 6 servings •

Hearty vegetable soup with diced carrots, potatoes, corn, and bell peppers, garnished with pine nuts, served in a white bowl.

This is one of my fall comfort foods but great year round. With the weather changing here in the east, I always add this to my arsenal of warming soups. I used to serve in at a restaurant where I worked. The customers were always delightfully surprised.
