As promised, here is Larry’s Vegetable soup. It is one of our favorite soups and we keep it in the freezer during the winter. I will be estimating the ingredients as Larry isn’t much into cooking in a an accurate way. When he made the soup on Sunday, I watched him and took notes. Here is what I saw…

This soup recipe is delicious. We keep it in the freezer during the winter as it makes a huge batch. PS: you can always throw in a handful of rice or noodles! Larry sometimes uses leftover rotisserie chicken as his protein, just throw it in the soup at the end of cooking.

Dear Larry, thank you for sharing your recipe today.

Till next time!
