Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make Ahead

Prepare the soup a day or two in advance, reserving the green peppers. Add the peppers to the hot soup just before serving. This keeps the peppers crisp and bright green in color.

Very good soup. Different from any other soup I have ever had. Great taste and easy to make. I also added a little ground beef.

Even made with the slow cooking barley that I cooked in advance, this soup was incredible! It made a great lunch too since .. well, my kids were overwhelmed with the variety and flavor. I swear. They could live off mild cheddar cheese and white bread.

Just the 2 of us, so this made enough for 2 meals. I added zucchini on the first day then roasted garlic the second. We enjoyed it both ways.

I have made this soup twice this month! The second time I added zucchini chunks (from our garden) and substituted diced tomatoes with garlic, basil and oregano (leaving out the herbs from the original) for the original tomatoes. It was fantastic!!

Good soup and NO meat, great for guests who are vegetarians. The only problem was I couldn’t stop eating it.
