Here is a recipe I found in Womans World Magazine in 2010. It is a delicious and satisfying little soup to have on a blustery day...like today! Brrrrrr!! When ever I make it I double the recipe, and freeze what is not eaten that day. It is always nice to be able to grab a bag from the freezer,and have supper already made. HA! More time for.....exercising. Likeshopping with the girls!! LOL Nancy..1/22/13
