Helpful Hints

I have added canned chicken breast or sausage to this recipe with wonderful results. The soup is great served with a crusty bread for dipping in broth, a hearty soup for a cold winter day.

The recipe starts with mixed BEANS, not greens, just like the recipe reads.

Something is wrong with this recipe. It starts out with

6.5 mixed greens?????

Isn't this supposed to be beans and pasta? I would like this recipe if and when it is written right.

Thanks,
