Notes

Time Saving Tip:

Busy weekday morning and want to get the soup on before you go to work? You can easily substitute frozen mixed vegetables here and chop only the onion and potato. It’s a big time saver and the nutritional content is just as good as fresh vegetables.

Variations:

If you or your kids don’t like one of the ingredients, simply swap it out! You can use Great Northern Beans instead of lima beans, sweet potato instead of Russet, etc. The variations are endless.

I often swirl in baby spinach leaves, chopped Swiss chard, or chopped kale during the last few minutes of cooking for beautiful fresh green color and extra iron. Fresh parsley is also a great addition.

If you are a garlic lover, add 2 cloves of minced garlic to this soup.
