Good season to make this soup!  I received the original recipe from Food Babe with permission to share it here.  The recipe is changed slightly, I cooked it less.  The vegetable broth I use is simply made from vegetables I juice.  Every time I make this I use different vegetables according to what is living in my refrigerator or ripe in the garden!    -Susan Oshel


 
'Behold, I will bring them from the north country, And gather them from the ends of the earth,
 Among  them the blind and the lame, The woman with child and The one who labors with child,  together,
 A great throng shall return there...And My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the LORD.'
 Jeremiah 31:8, 14
