"We tasted soup a lot like this at a local restaurant," Marilyn Lee from Manhattan, Kansas happily reports. "When I came across a recipe that sounded similar, I made a few changes to create this version."

1 small green pepper, chopped
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained

This is a very hearty soup. I only had hot sausage on hand so I used that. Next time I might throw in a little pasta. Delicious!
