Introduction

A supremely filling, hearty soup. I serve this on cold rainy days with a loaf of homemade bread. Hint: this is perfect for leftover rotisserie chicken or chicken you've pulled from the bone after making homemade chicken stock! This soup makes great leftovers, but you might want to thin it slightly with skim milk or water when reheating.

This is a Base soup, so you can add or take away any of the veggies you like, such as add green beans or other great flavors. Also you can add fresh parsley or other seasonings to your preference.
