Helpful Hints:

Kids may need adult supervision preparing this recipe.

For flavor variations try adding herbs. Favorites include marjoram, thyme, oregano, rosemary or a bay leaf. Just remember to remove the bay leaf before serving.

Canned mixed vegetables or frozen vegetables can be added to soup to save time. Keep small amounts of leftover vegetables in a container with a lid in the freezer to use in soups. This is a great way to save on your grocery bill and add vitamins to the meal.


Safety Tip:

Refrigerate the soup within 2 hours of serving. Divide it into shallow containers so it will cool quickly in the fridg. If you are not going to eat the soup within two to three days, label and freeze it in small containers.
