This is soup recipe that I love. Although the ingredients come from cans it is very good. I found a basic recipe and added some zippy spice to it. The best thing about it is you don’t have to add any extra water if you are in an emergency situation where you need to conserve water. It is a really filling soup for a long days work but it doesn’t freeze well. I learned that the hard way. It doesn’t taste bad but the ranch dressing separates and it
doesn’t look great.
