Butter Soup By: Heidi P.

Recipe Story

My three-year-old son with cystic fibrosis is not a big eater but he LOVES soup. Butter soup is easy to make and it's always a crowd pleaser. The butter ups the calories, it is great for dipping crackers and sandwiches, the serving size is great for lunch and it allows me to feed my son lots of veggies. I use the basics that are always in my fridge so no extra shopping trip required. The canned chicken can be switched for steak or any other meat left over. Hope you like Butter Soup.
