Recently prepared this recipe for our senior citizens during a monthly cooking class with our registered dietitian - the soup was a hit!

This recipe is great! I have sent this recipe on real estate post cards to clients, I always get wonderful feedback from this one. I have put the shredded cheese on it and it adds a great flavor as well.

This sounds good, have you ever thought of using shredded cheese with it too?
