Lu's take on this soup? Its yummy! I got this recipe out of my favorite cook book Cheap. Fast. Good! By Beverly Mills and Alicia Ross.. This has got to be the best cookbook that I have ever seen! So many good and cheap recipes! Go here for another recipe from this book!
This soup is good, quick, easy and cheap! All of my favorite words! I do not use a garlic clove- just because I didn't have any the days I made this. I never use a whole onion- I'm THAT cheap-and it was fine. I also just use a bag of frozen mixed veggies instead of the individual bags of each type of veggie. I love the fact that this recipe includes kidney beans! Such a wonderful addition to this soup! It adds more to the soup than just the typical veggies!
Enjoy! And go buy this book!!!! :)
