With only a few inexpensive ingredients and minimal cook time you will have a nice, warm, light yet filling tasty soup. I ran across a similar recipe on a healthy cooking site a few years ago. That recipe, while nice the way it was, really needed some tweaking to make it something we could enjoy. This is a perfect soup when you have unexpected guests or need something on the fly. We like it with a side salad and a slice of sourdough or french bread.
