Phil’s Famous Kitchen Sink Soup

This is our most popular soup. It is a favorite from our Affordable Healthy Eating classes and a staple at our house. We store some in the refrigerator to eat and put some in the freezer for later. Remove from freezer, thaw in refrigerator over night, warm on stovetop and serve.
