You know what I discovered the first time I made this soup? Well, this recipe serves 6-8 so there was plenty for my husband and I for a couple of days, and we still had leftovers. I used the rest of it for a pasta sauce on the third day! I simply browned some ground beef and mixed it with the leftovers – it was sooo good!
I wish I could transfer flavors through the internet to explain how absolutely delicious this is, but I guess you’re just going to have to make it and have a taste yourself!
