Kitchen Notes
Sometimes my soup needs a little extra thickness so I'll mix some cornstarch with cold water and stir it in. If you can't find Herbs de Provence in your store poultry seasoning works beautifully too. Feel free to switch up the vegetables based on what's in your fridge. My family loves this with ham when we have leftovers from Sunday dinner. Don't forget to bake up some cheddar biscuits they're perfect for soaking up every last drop.
