Linda's 10-Minutes Vegetable Soup - Simple Nourished Living (1)

Here's what Linda had to say when she shared her soup recipe with me, "I agree about the benefits of soup. It's also good for families of one. Most soup recipes can be halved or quartered, and portioned out, then frozen—generally.

I attended WW for the first time in the late 1990's. At the time they gave out a menu card each week. Yesterday while looking for my old college roommate's recipe for Irish Soda Bread, I came across one for Pasta fa*gioli. I made some easy modifications and came up with a 10-minute dinner. It may help others who are in a pinch for time. Serve with good bread and possibly a salad. For lunch the next day, serve a small portion with half a sandwich. Regards" ~ Linda S.
