GARDEN FRESH VEGETABLE SOUP



Garden Fresh Vegetable Soup image

I like this recipe because it's so flexible. It's terrific for people who grow their own vegetables or for people (like me) who love shopping at farmer's markets. This can be vegetarian by leaving out the ground beef and bacon and substituting vegetable broth for the beef broth. This is a nutritious, economical recipe that is easy to multiply for a crowd. Adapted from a Sunset recipe.

1/2 teaspoon dry basil
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
