Introduction

This is a hearty, filling soup that is perfect on a cold day! It's pretty healthy, but if you want to make it a little healthier you could use a low sodium broth. I like it with the 99% FAT-FREE broth in the recipe. You can also add a few stalks of celery, I didn't have any on hand as I was making this.

    I see no need for the flour, and would add chopped celery. - 9/19/20
