Comments: Imagine a soup that provides a whole meal in one bowl and takes only 30 minutes to make. Thats the beauty of Winter Casserole Soup, a thick and hearty soup made with vegetables, pasta and red kidney beans.

Soup is a great way to brighten up a winter evening. I find that my family, no matter what the weather, loves a bowl of soup. It warms them up and gets them chatting arounnd the table.

You can make this a vegetarian meal by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Horseradish and vinegar add a little kick and help the flavors of the vegetables blend. The cheddar cheese adds flavor and texture.

This tastes great the second day. You can double the recipe and have another quick meal waiting for you. If you make it in advance or are rewarming on the second night, it may become too thick. Just add more broth.

This is the type of meal that you can improvise if you havent been to the supermarket. I keep chicken broth, canned tomatoes and canned beans on hand for quick dinners. Also, I normally have onions, celery and carrots in the refrigerator. If you dont have spinach or cabbage, leave them out or use frozen spinach plus lettuce and any fresh greens you have in the refrigerator. Use any type of short, cut pasta such as elbow macaroni or penne. Or, use up different types of pasta you have. If theyre long, break them into smaller pieces.
