Mom's Tomato Vegetable Soup image

I developed this vegetable-based soup from a recipe my mom made when I was a child. Its robust down-home taste brings back wonderful memories of growing up on the farm.

I made this soup last night and it was a hit! The vegetables were cooked perfectly and the broth was so flavorful. I loved the addition of the Parmesan cheese rind, it added a really nice depth of flavor.

I made this soup last night and it was delicious! I used fresh tomatoes from my garden and the flavor was incredible. The soup was also very easy to make and it's a great way to use up leftover vegetables.
