ReplyDeleteWe're having turkey vegetable soup for supper tonight, courtesy of my longsuffering spouse, but this sounds like it should be on tap later this week. Delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt is one of those days. Actually one of those months that is good for soup. Lentil is on our menu today. This soup sounds yummmmy.
ReplyDeleteOh yum!! I am going to make this, but with vegetable broth!
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome! Definitely on this week's menu! Have you recovered from this cold and snow yet?
