Vegetable soup

Description

The recipe won't take much time. You don't need to be in Italy to enjoy this delicious soup. With my recipe, you can easily prepare it at home. This soup resembles a vegetable stew; by the way, sliced mushrooms would be a nice addition here, though optional. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
