Let me preface this post by saying we don't eat a lot of soups. Why? There's not many we like. Occasionally, chicken noodle soup or tomato, but even those are pretty rare. Now, I've tried to make soup before but there wasn't a recipe worth repeating. Until now!! Holy banana peel, this recipe is so divinely yummy! I think my SIL gave it to me years ago but it was lost amongst all of my other recipes. I'm glad I found it because we loved it. My husband made this and he said other than taking a little time to throw together, it was easy to do. He didn't add the onion or celery, but it still turned out delicious. If you like soup or even if you don't like soup, you should try this recipe. It's so good!! I can't wait for dinner tomorrow. :D
