Followup. The soup was pretty icky. I thought it would be okay because
it was 'all natural' and only dried vegetables and stuff but it tasted
instant. DH hated it and just ate the meatballs... he's a picky eater
so I tried it myself and I don't like it either! I hate wasting food
so I'll probably eat some tomorrow but it's not on my 'must have this
again' list by any means. I made some mini cornbread muffins and he
liked them... and I put the chicken and bacon into a pita and he liked
that too.
