Texas Two-Step Soup Mix

By mikeimmell

This soup mix is very good and easy to prepare. Keeping it on your shelf makes it easy to come up with a home made soup anytime of the year. I've also made this and substituted smoked turkey sausage or smoked polish sausage in place of the ground beef or turkey when I made it and the results were very pleasing.
