This is a quick and easy recipe that can be also used as a base recipe for meat and vegetable soups. Great flavor.

This was great. I used ham instead of bacon and added a little smoke flavoring. I added Rotel tomatoes and green chilis instead of regular tomatoes. Really, really good.

I prepared according to directions and this soup turned out perfectly. There was plenty for leftovers the next day and I served the soup with a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. Delicious and fast to prepare.
