The quantities are given only as an indication. This soup is a real meal on its own. It’s very nourishing and kids love it.
Cheryl based her recipe on the soup Grand-ma Adèle prepares. Every time we go to Chicoutimi, the girls ask their grandma to make this soup. They love it! The soup and their grandma!
