When my husband asked me to make this soup for a dinner at church, I prepared a huge pot and counted on having some left for us. But he came home with an empty pan and many requests for the recipe!—Lise Thomson, Magrath, Alberta

The only recipe I use, and my husbands favorite! I just eye-ball the oil though, 1/3 cup is way to much.
