My husband and I had this tonight for supper. It was easy to fix; good for a weeknight after work. The only thing I changed was to add a little cheese, which thickened up the soup a little. I like easy recipes that can be made at the end of a busy day. I made this for Pick A Chef 2014. Thanks for the recipe.
