REVIEW:
OK, summer is over and I am back! Technically I wasn't planning on taking the summer off, so I am sorry... but I have some great recipes that I am trying and so hopefully we are back in business!
As for this soup, it was super easy to make which is obviously my kind of recipe. And the taste was excellent! Jared liked it a lot and he doesn't even like tomatoes. It had a little kick for me, but it wasn't over the top hot. I served it with some sour dough grilled cheese sandwhiches and that hit the spot for me!!
