Corn, bell peppers, and green beans give this hearty soup its fresh, summery flavor; make a batch now, then freeze for up to six months. If you plan to freeze the soup, cook the green beans for a few minutes less than called for in step 4; this will help them retain their crunch after the soup is reheated.
