Рецепт Chilly Fall Days Equals...
Well..it equals a lot of things, BUT, one of my favorite things is SOUP. So, here is the first of many soups I will be making this season. It is one of my favorites, and although it may not be the healthiest version, it is definite comfort at its best. Set me up with a TV tray and the Dallas Cowboys Game on Sunday night, and call me a happy girl!
