*****This is a very good and satisfying low fat/low calorie soup. Some optional add ins are: 1C cooked pasta (stirred in after soup is cooked) I like ditalini; corn kernels, peas, lima beans, etc. I personally make this soup in my pressure cooker-high pressure for 5 minutes- and it comes out great.
