Notes

If you want to enjoy this over bread.  Place a couple of cups of the soup into a sauce pan.  In a small bowl, mix two teaspoons of cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and add it to the soup to thicken.  After the soup is at the desired thickness, serve over white bread with salt and pepper.
