Harvest Vegetable Beef Soup

I remember spending the evening with my Grandmother about 50 years ago. It was a cool fall day, we went outside to her big garden and dug potatoes and carrots. I don't know what recipe she used, or if she even used one. What I do remember is the most delicious smell. 50 years later this smell shouts fall to me.
We had a cool day yesterday, I wanted to 'smell fall'. I have made this recipe for years, it is easy to adapt to what you have on hand. But it is the best with garden fresh potatoes, carrots and tomatoes.
