Now that we know according to the yearly groundhog that we will be having six more weeks of winter, I think it is time to pull out the soup recipes. I have always tried to make soup on Sundays during the cold winter months. There is nothing better than a warm cup of soup with a salad or bread to sooth the soul on cold winter days. Soup always proves to be the perfect leftover for lunch or dinner during a busy week. This recipe is easy to prepare and perfect as a main dish or quick week night meal. Try adding cooked chicken for a great variation. Always delicious.
