This Soup is just perfect for the cold weather. A quick, no fuss dinner that is promised to make everyone happy! As an added bonus, it is very cheap to make and feeds 6!

I knew my husband would be home soon and would be hungry. Unfortunately, I had not pulled any meats out to thaw. I hurried to the pantry to look for something to come up with for dinner. I thought of soup to warm us up, as it is a cold wet day. So I pulled out a couple of cans and thought lets make something new! I also made my grandmothers homemade biscuits to pair with this soup… Prep Time: 3 Minutes or less Cooking time: 15 Minutes or less Ingredients:
