This really is wonderful. I cut the recipe and only made 1/3 because there are only 3 us these days. My husband called it delicious and healthy too! My 18yo son who complains when I cook vegetarian or too many soups devoured a large bowlful without a complaint. I served it with some fresh crusty french bread. This is a keeper! Thanks Larry! I'm sure we will make this again and again. It looks like it would freeze well so next time maybe I will make the full recipe.
