About

It really doesn't get much simpler than this Pantry Dump Soup. Take a bunch of cans you probably already have in your pantry, dump them in a pot, and let the flavors come together. Throw a little cheese in for richness and voilà! A warm, hearty, meaty soup with plenty of vegetables for balance! There's even a little heat in there from some green chilies! Pantry Dump Soup is a great winter soup that requires almost no effort! Hooray to that!
