Directions: Whisk soup into 4 1/2 cups of water- Bring to a boil, lower heat to a high simmer and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently. If soup is too thin, cook a little longer. If soup is too thick, add a little water.

Heartier Fare: Follow directions above, substituting low sodium chicken broth for the water and add 1 cup of cooked: Chicken, ham, rice, pasta (chicken or cheese tortellini is magnificent!), etc. Ladle soup into bowls and, if desired, garnish with your own special touches. If you choose to do nothing more than add water and simmer, this soup is scrumptious simply served with a crusty loaf of bread to savor every last delicious drop!
