Vegetable Bean Soup

This is the delicious soup that only my grandmother can make, which we enjoyed for supper tonight. It is a vegetable bean soup with noodles. We have a name for it, which I can think of numerous spellings for, none of which are correct. It is pronounced "fa-zoo-ey", but I have no idea where that name came from. Although she has not divulged the exact secret recipe, and the soup is always a little different each time it is made, here is the basis of it. It starts with chicken broth and a lot of fresh vegetables, along with some canned vegetables and canned beans. The vegetables always include carrots, celery, and sweet potatoes, but often other vegetables are added as well. The vegetables are simmered in the chicken broth until tender. The mixture is then pureed into a smooth, thick vegetable soup. This is when seasonings, such as ground black pepper and parsley, are added, along with spaghetti noodles.  Then the mixture is cooked again just until the pasta is tender. This soup is a bit difficult to describe, and it seems pretty simple, but it is so so good! It would be a nice starter vegetable soup without the pasta, but the pasta makes it a bit more substantial and good for a meal. The amount of pasta can easily be adjusted, as can the type of pasta. This soup is great with a slice of thick, homestyle bread. The soup also freezes quite well. My grandmother tends to make a batch of this soup for us every time we visit her or she visits us. She also brings some other delicious baked goodies with her too. I always look forward to my grandmother's delicious cooking!
