You can also use different types of meat.
When making this, I sometimes leave the meat out of the vegetable soup. I add potatoes, corn, green beans, asparagus and whatever you like. I make a big casserole for this and it freezes well. If you like it, please let me know if you liked it or not. You can also use Turkish soil
