I grew up on this soup. It’s easy and delicious. To make it GF, please find a GF minestrone OR sub a Amy’s Soup French Vegetable. Serve with Fritos.

1 can minestrone (or Amy’s French Vegetable for GF)

    I’m curious. I grew up a Salvation Army officer’s kid, and never heard of a Salvation Army Soup. Do you know the origin of the name. Thanks for the recipe.

      I don’t know of any ties to the Salvation Army. I think it was just a family name. It was what my grandmother called it.

I built this corner of the internet after celiac entered our house and I realized I had to relearn how to cook from the ground up. Recipes I’d known by heart suddenly betrayed me, and my confidence in the kitchen disappeared overnight. Out of that season of crumbly experiments, small victories, and determination to make food that still felt like home, this site slowly grew. I wanted to share that journey with you so your table can feel normal, maybe even a little faster than mine did.
