A wonderful warm and cozy soup for crisp fall nights and cold winter days... My daughter often requests this soup...I had lost the recipe until a member here asked me about it, since I had commented on it, in a group. So I started a mission to find it and I did!!! My daughter will be so happy to have it back! I do often add chopped mushrooms to this when I add the onion. This is best the next day! Make it when you have time, toss into refrigerator and heat to serve. Enjoy!!! :o)
