I was looking for a similar recipe to one I tried on another site Here is some of the changes I made I used 6 cups water and 2 Tbs. better than boullion chicken flavor I used a squeeze of lemon juice and later added a sprinkle of salsa seasoning to the bowl of soup I was eating. I am almost tempted to make this a 5 star recipe but dont really know how similar my verson is to the intended recipe.Oh I did not use any beef stock
