This was a delicious and easy soup to make...I would recommend it to everyone!! I cut the recipe in half for DH and I, followed the directions to a tee and served it with some garlic bread. Next time I might add some cayenne pepper for a little zip and try some wine like a previous cook posted (but you really don't need it). Took it down to the coast and totally enjoyed our lunch. Thank you. Made for Zaar Alphabet Soup Tag game 2009.

Three things to be said here... 1. YUMMY! 2.EASY! 3. TRY IT! Sept07 - Added a couple things when I made this recipe again and if you like a bit more spice, this adds flavour without adding "heat". Along with the first 7 ingrediants, I added 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 small tin of chopped green chili's and half a cup of dry white wine. Also, I used butter instead of margarine. This recipe is so easy and tasty - perfect cold weather meal on a busy day.

I learned how to cook from my mom, and love to putz around in the kitchen. I watch many shows on The Food Network, too, though Good Eats is my favorite. I have many recipes of my own but am always looking for something that's just a bit different. I am now on the look out for great tasting lower carb recipes, and for natural/organic, whole foods. Feel free to send me Zmail!
My photo - this a photo was taken at The Hofbrau Haus in Munich, Germany in April 2007. My mom and I took a wonderful 3-week tour last year and ate here twice. The food was homey and delicious, and the bier was great! I can't believe I finished the whole thing...
