Italian Veggie Beef Soup

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: 12 servings (4 quarts).
My sweet father-in-law, Pop Pop, would bring this chunky soup to our house when we were under the weather. We like it so much, we take it to our own friends who need comfort. It always does the trick. —Sue Webb, Reisterstown, Maryland
