Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

• Feel free to add celery, red bell peppers, or fresh onion.
  • Sauté vegetables in melted butter in the pot until tender. Add remaining ingredients and cook as directed.

• Use low-sodium or no-salt chicken broth to control the salt content in the soup.
• Here is our recipe for Homemade Taco Seasoning: https://www.plainchicken.com/homemade-taco-seasoning/
