Three Can Soup

Winter is arriving here, in good ol' Maryland style. Kinda cold, kinda sleet, kinda ice. Hummm seems like a perfectly good time to make ~Nimz's~ soup. As it happens quite often, I was missing the minestrone soup, but used "Amy's Vegetable Barley" instead. Other then that, all ingredients stayed the same as I wanted to use this as the way it was written. Already had bell pepper, and onion diced from yesterdays lunch and I threw all the rest ingredients right in to maturate and swim with each other. Dennis came down upstairs sniffing like a little ghost finger had beckoned him down to see where it was taking him. Right into this bowl of soup that was gone in no time flat. I didn't have sour cream, so I added a bit of homemade croûtons to the top to float a a raft. Yummy! Will make this often ~Nimz~ and thanks!

This is a very nice soup. Great for after work when time is limited. I halved the recipe and since I used Habitant minestrone soup which is not condensed I didn't add the water. I also included the optional onion.

Very delicious for a 'not-from-scratch' soup. It was so easy and fast to put together. I made it as written except halved the recipe; and it still made enough for 2 or 3 meals. I added the onion-grn pepper option. Great recipe Nimz.

This brings back memories of being a girl scout leader and making this at camp. Hearty warming and great tasting. Alone with the onions and peppers I just had to add 2 cloves of garlic. Thanks for the memories!
