My solution is the salad bars in a local grocery store. Yes the cost per ounce is higher but when factored against wastage it is more economical for me. I also use it to get small amounts of broccoli, cheese etc. to stuff a baked potato,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4001048742448308736.post-40218482053325165012013-12-21T11:43:24.914-06:002013-12-21T11:43:24.914-06:00I could have written this blog!

Hubby and I agree this is the best soup I've ever made; and I've made a lot in my 66 tears. Its much better than Olive Garden's. <br />I left some things out because we had a family<br />emergency while I was cooking so I just left it to cook. <br />After eating 3 bowls I came back to the recipe and realized I had deviated from the recipe more than I realized. I used a lot of black pepper instead of Tabasco. The spicyness was perfect. I used beans I had cooked instead of canned and I totally forgot the pasta because the crockpot was full to the top so there was no room anyway, This makes a lot. <br /> I used the 23.9oz. Ragu Robusto with Sweet Italian Sausage and Cheese because it was what I had on hand. I also used 28 oz. Del Monte Diced T\omatos with Basil, Garlic and Oregano for the same reason, so I didn't use the fresh herbs because I didn't have them. I used the whole package of slivered carrots. We ate it before the time was up so the carrots and celery were still a little crunchy which we loved. We forgot the cheese too. <br />I can't wait to see if its better the next day. I may have it for breakfast. I WILL take your recipe with me to the grocery and make it just like yours soon. I'll definitely take this to potlucks. Even though I didn't follow your recipe to the letter, thank you so much for sharing it.
