This was a nice smooth soup. It was a little on the bland side, so I added some hot paprika and more pepper. I also added some red pepper flakes. It is very simple to make and was good on a cold winter day. I think this would be great with some shredded chicken added in too. Made and Reviewed for Please Review My Recipe tag - Thanks! :)
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a grandmother who loves having the grandkids around. My son is currently living with me (on a short term basis) so I get to see and spend time with his kids more than I ever had, and that's a great thing.
I love trying new recipes and since I have found RecipeZaar, the new dishes have been streaming. Sometimes I think the kids would prefer a little break, but until they speak up, it's something new for them about everytime they visit with us.
I don't consider myself a 'cook,' I can only follow recipes. To me a cook is someone who can come up with their own recipes and have success at it (like my daughter).
