This recipe was the inspiration: I used 2 cans of low salt, low fat chicken stock; 4 c. water; about 6 small..." See moreish carrots; 4 stalks of celery, peeled; 2 pinches of dried basil; 2 pinches of dried thyme; a few sprinkles of an onion-based salt-substitute; the liquid from a can of stewed tomatoes; 3-4 cloves garlic, crushed.

"This is a great back to basics recipe, which is why I'm giving it a 5-star. It was just what I was looking for.

May try ground turkey next time. Thank You!"
