Multi-Purpose Soup Mix

November 11, 2014

I came up with this soup mix because I wanted a mix that contained the main ingredients I use in many of my soups as a base. So far, I have used it in Chicken Noodle Soup, Potato Soup, Meatloaf, and to flavor pasta pasta.

French Dressing Spice Mix

Mama’s Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice
