Caroline, this soup is divine! I made recipe#417940 for the Alfredo sauce base and made the rest as written. We could not have been happier with this delectable soup! My grandmother used the "waste not, want not" saying around our house too! Thanks for reminding me of her today - Easter. She always went out of her way to make our holidays so special. Great memories and great PAC 2010 find!

<p><br />I love to cook, read and try new recipes. Marketing professional by education and business experience, but wrote cooking feature articles and a recipe column in the past--when my 2 sons were young. Also, owned a book shop for 5 years; carried lots of cookbooks; and, of course-- had to have one of each. LOL! Invited cookbook authors to signing events and would make some of their recipes for customers to sample. <br /><br />My philosphy is-- <br /><br />LIFE IS NOT A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE WITH THE INTENTION OF ARRIVING SAFELY IN A PRETTY AND WELL-PRESERVED BODY, BUT RATHER TO SKID IN BROADSIDE, THOROUGHLY USED UP, TOTALLY WORN OUT, AND LOUDLY PROCLAIMING, WOW! WHAT A RIDE! <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/purplechefhat.gif alt= /> <img
