Notes: A family recipe that has been changed to make it healthier - less meat and less salt and more veggies. The girls loved it in the winter in Edmonton and we still eat it often in California. I think it was one of Zev's favorite. When i made it, he could eat it for lunch and dinner for at least a week if it lasted that long. Original recipe came from Sunset Magazine but it has been changed.
This Soup may be served as a main dish!
I also add sweet potatoes chopped, green beans, and/or other vegetables I have in pantry. I'll add kale when I'm warming up the soup for a change or veggies I have cooked to portions I'm reheating for another day.
