We were visiting Gary and Trish in January 2019 at their home in Minnesota. It gets a bit on the cool side there at that time of year.

Gary made this soup for us. Man, it was so tasty, perfect for the chilling weather, and it was fast to prepare. Since that visit, we’ve made it a few more times and it’s just as good as the first time we ate it.

The recipe that follows is basically unchanged from what Gary provided to us. Yes, it’s odd for us to not made several changes to any given recipe, but this one is just excellent the way it is.

Fair warning; this makes a fair amount that will feed 6 to 8 with no problem. So if you’re cooking for two, go ahead and make it, but have your storage containers ready to save the leftovers for another day as this soup freezes very well.

One last thing before we head into the recipe, this one came from The Foodie Eats. Here is a direct link to the recipe on their site
