Greenhouse Vegetable Soup
Contributed by: News Canada
(NC) - The end product this soup produces is very Asian in design, but it keeps the home-cooked taste intact. You can substitute the shrimp for chicken breast or incorporate both together for a true Asian experience. This soup goes well with a glass of Chardonnay or an imported beer.
