This soup is awesome! I made it for my mom as part of her liquid diet following bariatric surgery and it was not only delicious but provided much needed nutrition for her as well. That's a win in my book! My family will be keeping this recipe on hand as it will undoubtedly become a staple in the fall and winter months.
