Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
We had this soup on Christmas Eve as long as any of us can remember.
As years went by things have been added such as green beans, corn and sometimes she would make alphabet macaroni to add. The recipe is as how she made it. Add what you want. No measurements here, as Mom did not have a written recipe (or at least that I know of) so you will have to make this according to how may you are feeding and how your family would like it.
