Enjoy!!I use as many organic and low-sodium foods as I can when I cook for my daughter: organic canned beans, veggies, broth, etc.If it's a little bland, play with your spices, I just make it like this because Abby is only 18 months. I drain the liquid and she has a great assortment of finger foods that she loves. And it's a filling, healthy soup for me too!! Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user REBECCAS40.
