    This was a quick and simple solution for a busy school night! Made this, got the girls fed and off to Nutcracker practice by 5:30! I used one can of Campbell's Minestrone, 1 can of beef broth and one can of Wolfgang Puck's Minestrone, but used the other ingredients as described. Thanks for a nice and fast out-the-door meal!

    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 croƻtons to the top to float a a raft. Yummy! Will make this often ~Nimz~ and thanks!

    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!
