♥Finnish Vegetable Soup (Kesäkeitto) with Summer Vegetables♥

Several years ago my favorite spot for lunch, Cafe' du Voyageur, featured this soup. I thought - naw, it doesn't sound all that great. My friend, Sherry, ordered it and just raved about the flavor so I ordered a small cup. After that, I was hooked. Make this soup and I guarantee you that it will become a family favorite! Served with warm crusty bread, your tummy will l♥ve you!
