Vegetable Pizzazz
This is one of my favorite recipes to make in the summer because it includes a ton of fresh vegetables! I got this recipe from my mom and it is very hearty and filling without even having any meat! It is really best if it can simmer or sit longer than 20 minutes, but I usually can't wait longer than that because it always smells so good!
