With the economy being so tough today, I always look for ways to prepare good meals using the least expensive means possible. We all just love this soup and it has a million possibilities ! You can have it simple, as is...or add what ever meat you prefer ~ chicken, ham, beef. There's so much room for alterations and it always seems to come out wonderful. So, give this basic soup a try, and get creative !!
