I also add Cabbage, Corn on the Cob and 1 Jalapeno (Optional). You can put any veggie you desire does not need to have exactly like I do. Those are my favorite veggies for my soup that is why. LOL
For a side dish is Rice, I make Mexican Rice to go along with it on the side too.
I love soup. Make it all winter. Mostly vegetable beef. Also though chicken. So I’ll try this too. I’ll copy it into my recipes. Thanks again.
