If ministering to families and individuals who may occasionally need help, here is an idea that is easy to prepare ahead, store on shelves, and distribute as needed with directions. Have a cooking class for creating healthy foods for people on limited incomes and demonstrate how to prepare the 'canned' soups. Make instructions simple and adaptive to available resources, tastes, etc.

good, especially in the fall and winter. I will list the instructions for using
it as a fund raiser at the end of the cooking instructions. Cook time is for
prep and simmer time when cooking, not preparing for fund raiser. Yummy and I
hope you enjoy!

heat, brown beef and drain excess fat add garlic to brown slightly. Add diced
tomatoes, tomato paste, water, and soup mix. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat

raising!
