DIRECTIONS

1.	TO MAKE VEGETABLE SOUP: Defrost the peppers and onions in the refrigerator overnight. Sauté the peppers and onions in the oil until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, beans, corn, mixed vegetables, salsa, and tomato sauce. Bring the soup to a boil. Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, Italian Seasoning, and water to the mixture. Reduce the temperature to a simmer. Cover the soup and simmer it for 30 minutes. Hold the soup until ready for service. CCP: Heat to 135 degrees F or higher for 15 seconds at the completion of the cooking process. If manufacturer instructions on the package or case have a higher temperature, follow those recommendations. CCP: Hold and maintain the product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F. Check temperature every 30 minutes.
2.	TO ASSEMBLE PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH: Combine the peanut butter and jelly in a mixer at low speed. Place 24 slices of bread on each sheet pan, 4 down and 6 across. Spread a #20 (3 1/3 tablespoon) scoop peanut butter/jelly mixture on each slice of bread. Top with a second slice of bread. Cut each sandwich diagonally in half. Cover pan tightly with plastic wrap to maintain freshness. Place under refrigeration until ready for service. CCP: Hold under refrigeration (41 degrees F or lower) until ready for service.

Place 24 slices of whole wheat bread on each sheet pan, 6 down and 4 across. Lay 1 ounce (two 1/2-ounce slices) of cheese on each slice of bread. Top with second slice of bread. Spray tops of sandwiches with butter flavored pan release spray. Cover each sheet pan with a second sheet pan to increase browning. Bake until lightly browned: Conventional oven: 400 degrees F for 15 - 20 minutes; Convection oven: 350 degrees F for 10 - 15 minutes. Cut each sandwich diagonally in half. Cover with aluminum foil.
