Quick & Easy Steamer Bag Vegetable Soup
"I am tired of the cost and similar taste of all the canned soups out there, but I wanted something that was almost as easy to fix for lunch. As an added plus, my son said it was the best vegetable soup he had ever had! I've used all the combinations of the 3 types of vegetable mixes and have liked them all. I like adding the chickpeas for my protein, but the family prefers the chicken."

This soup was really super easy and really good! I did add some water chestnuts cumin, pepper, chili powder, and a little bit of salt and let it simmer for about 30 minutes so the flavors blended and it was delicious, kinda tasted like vegetable chili. I made it on a Sunday and had it for lunch all through the week! Thanks for sharing!
