I am hoping that some people just make vegetable soup so with the carrots, onions, celery and then the meat and extra stuff it might be ok. I am going to hope I dont hate myself add a bit of worchestershire sauce a couple tablespoons. No boullions (spell checke please!) too salty usually for me. Thanks for your help. Wish me luck!! it will be eaten as momma said "its eatin' food so shut up and eat!" and when she spoke we listened.
