We had a wonderful dinner of soup and chili with my in laws, and this fantastic soup was simmering when we arrived. It smelled so fantastic, and tastes even better. My mother in law, Sandy, made a single recipe on one burner, and a double recipe on another, and we pretty much ate the entire double recipe between 5 people and taking some home for later! I am so happy to have this recipe, as my hubby really likes it, and I can now say I know why! This is the double recipe, according to her...you can always halve the recipe, but as good as it is, you won't want to!

    I ran to the store 1-12-21, and only got original recipe ingredients. Then forgot to add the carrots and potatoes. And with needing more sauce, added a jar of original ragu!
