Meet the Cook: When my husband and I eat out and enjoy a dish, I go home and try to duplicate it. That's how I came up with this recipe. While it's good at any time, we like it full and hearty over the winter. Our three children are grown. Now, we keep busy watching their children - our six grandchildren - grow. -Donna Mae Young, Menomonie, Wisconsin

Tip

Chopping Onions

I’ve found that the best way to chop onions with no tears is to place the cutting board on top of the stove and turn the vent fan on high. —Gloria D., Courtenay, British Columbia

This soup is so good. I used the turkey sausage also and it was perfect. I highly recommend this recipe.

I also used smoked turkey sausage to make it a little healthier.

Hot, filling, and very tasty. I used turkey kielbasa, which knocked the calorie count down to 247 per cup!
