Beef and Fresh Veggie Soup

I made this recipe up with what I had on hand. And I had some GREAT veggies on hand since I signed up to get local organic produce delivered to my doorstep. A friend from work also gave me some spicy oregano which she had grown and dried--it made the perfect seasoning! The soup turned out delicious. I'd never tried turnips, but they worked well in the soup.

3 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 ears of corn, kernels sliced off
