Southwestern Soup

GranJan's Note:

We love soups, especially in winter months. This one really hits the spot on a cold day. Hope you like it too. Don't drain any of the cans of vegetables and don't add any salt. The seasoning mixes have plenty of salt for the entire recipe.

Absolutely delicious! It was so flavorful and hearty. Great for a cold night. My husband usually needs a sandwich with a bowl of soup in order to fill him up but this alone did the trick! Will definitely be making again and again!
