This is a quick and easy recipe for really hearty homemade soup that you don't have to wait until the weekend to make. Adding the cream of mushroom soup makes it a thick and creamy stoup , but can be omitted for a more traditional soup. Can be garnished with a little shredded cheese and seasoned croutons, served with cornbread or crusty rolls. Yummy! This recipe makes a large pot to serve a big family or leaves enough to freeze for later. Ingredients:
