Thanks for the soup recipe Karen. I absolutely love soup in the winter, but the rest of my family are not big on it, unless it is Campbells Tomato soup with macaroni, or Liptons Chicken noodle. I need more sustenance. When I cook soup, I usually use my crock pot and let it cook all day, or even into the next day. I do that with stew also. Just dump in the meat, no need to brown. Add any veggies you want, then dump a can of diced tomatoes on top, and let it cook. That's a great favourite in our household.
