Personal Notes:
This is a great basic soup recipe. I vary it according to what I have on hand -- use chicken instead of beef (meat and broth), add more vegetables (zucchini, summer squash, asparagus, green beans, mushrooms, etc.), double the recipe and freeze for later, etc.
You can top the soup with grated cheese and serve it with garlic bread.
