Simmer about 20 minutes or
until vegetables are tender though chewy.
For variety, add 1/2 cup rice, noodles, or barley
with the other ingredients, or add 1/4 to 1/2 cup
dried jerky, cut in bite-size pieces.
Using low-sodium soup granules or bouillon cubes
will allow those on low-sodium diets to enjoy this
versatile recipe.
