I remember growing up with his soup. My grandmother used to make this for me. The original recipe doesn’t use vanilla pudding. They used just simply flour to thicken the soup. As a chef, my mom made a little twist and added vanilla pudding to the soup instead of just flour. And it was a hit! From there on, she made it just with that.
