Preparation

Step 1

Add veggies and meat to the water and bring to a boil then turn down the heat just enough to keep a steady boil. When veggies start to get tender (could take almost an hour), season with S&P and slowly add the milk/flour mixture to thicken - it will take some time for the soup to actually thicken up.
