Production Notes
Use USDA Foods products when available.
Canned whole potatoes may be used instead of whole, fresh potatoes. Use the "Food Buying Guide for School Meal Programs" to determine amount of potatoes or other altered ingredients to use.
If changes are made in ingredients, check crediting information and re-calculate the nutrition analysis.
"Culinary Techniques for Healthy School Meals" provides seasoning and serving ideas for soups.
Serving Notes
Please note that soup only provides ½ oz. eq. of meat/meat alternate, so it does not meet the daily minimum requirements for meat/meat alternate quantity. Menu planners may want to offer a sandwich with this item to meet the minimum meat/meat alternate requirements.
