Mexicali Soup


In 2nd grade my teacher mrs. Means gave the entire class this recipe. i think we ate this in class one day, but i don't recall. it is my favorite vegetable soup recipe to this day. i'm not sure where the soup got the name, but my guess is it was probably from a story we read. my mom said the original recipe calls for a beef soup bone and beef, but i grew up without it in the recipe. feel free to throw either or both in to suit your tastebuds or use your own fresh homemade vegetable stock.
