This product is complete in itself and truly resembles an old fashioned type Minestrone Soup loaded with a wide variety of vegetables, and a good rich beefy flavor.  Add julienne or cubed beef and you have a meal in the pot.  Add whole baby or razor clams and you have a rich Manhattan Clam Chowder.  Needless to say, Bernard Meatless Minestrone Soup would delight the finest of palates.
