Russian Vegetable Soup

When is comes to making a delicious, flavorful vegetable soup that warms you up, the Russians know how it is done. This recipe was given to my mother by a Russian woman when they went to pick up my sister that we adopted from Russia. I've increased the amount of vegetables to make it a bit heartier. Russians also shredd the vegetables for this soup where I find dicing to be quicker and easier. The flavors, on the other hand, are all authentic.
