When Jordan and I were talking about which recipe we would feature this week, she suggested soup. Since it is soup season, she thought that would be the best option. Then she said that this soup would be a good one to publish. It came to us by way of my brother-in-law (Jordan’s Uncle Tom), and he actually made it for us the first time we had it. I can’t give credit to its origin other than to say he found it in a newspaper article by The Associated Press.
The nicest thing about this soup is that it can be prepared in 30 minutes, is low in fat, and can feed up to 6 people. Add a nice salad and some warm bread or muffins, and you have a great meal. Enjoy.

Be sure to come back next week. We will reveal Jordan’s painted kitchen cabinets, the great art we created for her dining room wall, and photos from her neighborhood’s first beer crawl. I might even have a project to share. Till then, have a good week-end.

This sounds YUM! I would have to throw it all in a crockpot, forgive me. 🙂 So glad to have found your lovely blog.
This sounds like it will taste quite unusual. It is, indeed, soup season, so I’ll print this out to have handy for a chilly chili night.
