Hearty Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup image

This is the way my mom made vegetable soup. I have always loved it and make it every fall, at the end of the growing season, just like mom. My mother and grandmother would sit at the kitchen table, cutting and chopping the vegetables, for this wonderful soup. I loved coming home from school on a cold winter day, to this soup...
