Introduction

This is my comfort food. Freeze portions. Can morph into other variations. I calculated for 8 portions. I add other ingredients and can fix differently each meal. Example, add spinach, zucchini, or any kind of beans, or green beans, or corn.. May add a meat such as: browned ground Turkey, canned seafood, turkey sausage or ham, etc. I try to make the end result each time we have it. May need to add extra broth. I make my own broth. I did not calculate it because I skim it well and it is sodium free. This is my comfort food. Freeze portions. Can morph into other variations. I calculated for 8 portions.
