When you've eaten your last cookie, smeared you last bit of brie, gulped your last eggnog, it's time to focus on vegetables again. This vegetable soup will warm your belly with the spice of cumin, while filling it with a super boost of vitamins your body is craving this time of year. —Joy Thompson Stroup
