I have used this recipe also and the family loves it.

This was a nice, easy soup to assemble. I served with grilled cheese.

My mom owns a cafe/catering business; she's been asking for some new soup recipes and I passed this one along. It was a hit with the customers. They did not prepare this via crockpot but prepared it stovetop. Thanks for posting; it will be made and served at my mom's cafe again and again for her customers to enjoy!
