Helen's Fricassee Soup

Submitted by Brookes Kitchen

"This has been a traditional soup made every August at the Trinity United Methodist Church, which was the church of the Bobe’s and their relatives after they moved to Vincennes, IN. Needless to say 4 generations of the Bobe family participated in the preparation of this soup!"
