I love this tasty soup for dinner on chilly days. I serve this with bread and a tossed salad. This recipe is vegetarian if you use the vegetable, rather than beef, broth. From the Chicago Tribune Good Eating section. Ingredients:

1 celery rib, coarsely chopped |

1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained |

1 chopped russet potato |
1 large zucchini, peeled,chopped |
2 cups packed baby spinach leaves |
1 cup peas, fresh or frozen |
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley |
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt |
fresh ground pepper |
