This is one of my favorite soups. Mom always used to make this soup and I started making it when my children were small, back in Michigan, some 45 years ago.. when it was cold and the dampness never seemed to go away..it went down into your bones; my family still love it and I still make it. When I want a little comfort soup I like to make this...it sure takes the chill off..and is very simple to make...enjoy!
