Vegetable Soup

Here is the recipe for a simple and light Vegetable Soup. This is an excellent soup when you are on a diet and want to avoid a few calories. You can also serve this as an Appetizer. This soup can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated. Whenever you feel sick with a flu, try this simple Homemade Vegetable Soup garnished with lots of Pepper. I have used Milk in this recipe instead of Cream to increase the thickness of the soup.
