Autumn has definitely arrived here in Ohio. I look out the window as I write this and I am greeted with a cool, overcast day, fiery leaves and the unmistakable scent that only autumn brings. This is the kind of weather that practically begs for baking breads and simmering soups. The highest temperature forecasted for this coming weekend is 74, so it is time to break out the slow cookers, Dutch ovens and stock pots and start simmering!HEARTY VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP
