I got this recipe from a Kraft Food & Family magazine almost seven years ago and have enjoyed it every time. It is easy enough that your child can help fix it too! It has variations to it so it is very versatile. Serve it with a salad and some fresh bread and you are set for a GREAT meal that everyone will enjoy. And no one (but you) will know that it took no time at all to fix! Enjoy!

How To Make super soups

Step 1

Cook and stir meat in 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in large saucepan until cooked through; drain. Add vegetables; cook 3-5 min. or until crisp-tender; stirring occasionally.

Step 2

Add chicken broth, soup base (the last 4 items of the recipe - 8 oz Velveeta, 14 1/2 oz chicken broth, 1 pkg good seasons Italian dressing mix and 2 cups water). Add 1 c bite-sized pasta, Bring to a boil.
Step 3

You can freeze these soups as well. Allow soup to cool then portion into smaller containers. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator as needed. Reheat small portions about 2 servings of frozen soup, in the microwave on HIGH for about 5 min., stirring halfway through.
