Which Brands Did I Use?

Sometimes when it comes to Semihomemade recipe that use packaged foods to create meals, the brands of items can make or break a dish. I don’t think this ALWAYS happens but I do know that not all packaged items are created equally.

So, I’ll let you know which brands I used for this recipe and then you can use those or tweak the recipe to match brands that you use and love.

Tomato Soup – I used Campbell’s Tomato Soup

Chicken broth – I made chicken broth using Better Than Bouillon Premium Roasted Chicken Base (ps. that Amazon price is INSANE! You’ll get a much better price in your local grocery store!) – You can can also use homemade chicken broth , canned chicken broth or low sodium chicken broth.

Frozen mixed vegetables – I used the Birds Eye Steamfresh Mixed Vegetable that includes Corn, Carrots, Green Beans, Peas. But I’ve also used the Food Lion store brand mixed vegetable blend as well. If you want to use the microwave to steam the vegetables in the steamer bag you can, but you can also just toss them into the boiling soup to cook.

You can also add any other vegetables that you want like mushrooms, onions and celery, but you’ll want to sauté and cook those until they’re tender before you add them to the soup. Also diced tomatoes would be great in this soup if you wanted to add them.

Onion Powder – With seasoning, I think it’s all about personal taste. I only used about 1 1/2 teaspoons of onion powder for this recipe as we can’t use onions in our cooking at home due to an allergy but you can adjust the amount to your taste.

Frozen Spinach – Frozen spinach or fresh spinach will work for this recipe. I personally don’t care for a lot of kale so I wouldn’t use that as a substitute for the spinach but you can certainly try that if that’s something you like.

Frozen Cheese Tortellini – I love the frozen tortellini because I can keep it stocked into the freezer for recipes like this soup or for baked pasta dishes. However, you could also use fresh tortellini or refrigerated tortellini.

Can I Add Meat / A Protein To This Soup?

You can. If I was going to add something to this soup, I would either add cooked, shredded chicken or cooked, crumbled Italian sausage.
