Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 50 to 60 minutes or until soup has thickened and all the ingredients are tender. Serve the soup topped with a couple tablespoons of the cheese blend and a teaspoon or so of chopped green onion. Makes six 1-cup servings. ~~~~~~~~~~ Rhonda G in Missouri Owner of http://groups.yahoo.com/group/a_place_for_chatting_and_friends/ Owner of http://groups.yahoo.com/group/awesomeswapsandmore/?yguid=301586139 Owner of http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Rhondas_Recipe_Exchange/?yguid=301586139 Owner of http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JustSwaps4USFriends/ All are looking for new members!!! ____________________________________________________________________________________ Need a vacation?
