Harvest is the season when the evenings start turning chilly.I personally prefer having a hearty hot meal at the end of day .A meal which is filling yet does not require too much work ( by work I mean ..not cleaning too many utensils).It is called a "St-oup" because it is a soup with the consistensy of a stew.
This soup has all the ingredients you can find in the fall season.This is a totally vegetarian soup with kidney beans, a wonderful source of low-fat protein.The recipe is as follows.
