Homemade Vegetable Soup

I decided a few weeks ago that I wanted to start trying out some of the soup recipes on the Weight Watchers site. Since I only cook for one, I figured I could make a soup on Sunday, have it for dinner, and then have lunch already made up for every day of the week.

Well, I finally put my plan into action. This past weekend, I made homemade vegetable soup in my crock pot. I don't know why I made it in the crock pot. But it worked for me. And I didn't actually follow a recipe. I got a good start there, but I added my favorite veggies.

I've never actually made vegetable soup that didn't come out of a can. That sounds pretty ridiculous, doesn't it? But I'm pretty sure it's true. So, I was a little worried that I'd be all excited to try my soup and then I wouldn't like it. But it was wonderful! I already can't wait to make the next one.
