"Quick and flavorable, copied this from one of my moms magazines. Thumbs up recipe even for our picky 10 yr. old, his only complaint was he wanted a fork not a spoon packed in his lunchbox, or else he would have eaten it all!"

This soup was wonderful. Thick and hearty and we all loved it. Served it with french bread and I'm surprised I have leftovers because my husband ate 3 bowls! Thanks!

Excellent quick soup recipe. I prepared this using leftovers from French Dip sandwiches. I subbed the au jus broth for the can of beef broth and chopped up the sliced deli roast beef that I had used in the sandwiches. I omitted the browning sauce, but found that the mustard and wine added a nice flavor to the soup. I topped my bowl with swiss cheese, and next time will pop it under the broiler to melt it into gooey goodness. Thanks for a simple recipe.
