My family and I love this recipe and its incredibly fast to cook, plus always leaves some leftovers! My 6 year old calls it ABC soup becaue we use ABC noodles. We have some non-meat eaters in the house so sometimes we add leftover ground beef to the serving bowls. For the soup we do not cook it with meat but add 2 more cups of beans or veg to sub. Our family also likes a sprinkle of cheese on top and some add hot sauce.
