This creamy soup brings my family to the table in a hurry. I love the warming zip of cayenne, but it also tastes terrific without it if you like milder flavor. With a few simple side dishes, this soup is a full meal.

I've made this hearty soup many times. Everyone loves it. I follow the recipe exactly, and get requests for the soup regularly.

This reminds me of the receipt below.   The 2nd time I made, it I added canned vegetables to it and turned in into a very hardy vegetable soup.

1 sm Onion, chopped
3 cn (8 oz. ea) tomato sauce
4 c Water

1/2 ts (to 1 ts) hot pepper sauce

This sounds like it would be great with a homemade soda cracker. If anyone has a recipe for these I am looking for one for my mom, who is 86 years old and has been looking for a recipe for a homemade soda cracker for years. Please can someone help me find this for her???

Thank-you in advance.

This is my favorite Taste of Home recipe. It is so addictive.

I add extra jalapenoes with seeds, to add more spice. I usually eat this with doritoes.
