Notes
I used carrots, celery, onion and zucchini to make this soup, however you can use whatever veggies you like - corn is great too. I also added ½ teaspoon of medium Mexican spice mix to give it a bit of heat, however if you and the kids don't like spicy soup, you can use a mild spice. Alternatively, add 1 teaspoon for a bigger spice hit.This recipe can be frozen for up to three months.
