Years ago when money was scarce, I often relied on this economical standby. I sometimes added roast beef when leftovers were available.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out watery and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't come together. Maybe I'll try it again sometime.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it flavorful. Otherwise, it was a good soup.
