Grandma's Secret Tip
Grandma's Secret Tip
When Grandma had a big crowd to feed, she stretched the soup in a flash by adding 1 to 2 cans of chicken broth.
Great Pairings
Black Bean & Corn Salad
You can save money by using olive oil and balsamic vinegar instead of the bottled Italian vinaigrette dressing called for in the recipe. Use 1 part vinegar to 3 parts oil for the best flavor.
