Princess Soup

Submitted by Keepnupncali

"My friend Allison Dennis was hard at work one day in the kitchen and I had asked her what she was making for dinner. She said Princess Soup. I had asked her what the heck Princess Soup was. She said that it is an Italian inspired soup. She had given it the distinct name "Princess Soup" to coax her two little girls to be excited about the soup and eat it up! Enjoy and tell me what you think!"
