It's been a while since I shared a recipe. I admit to being a slacker! But this recipe is an exception.This is it. Right from the internet Google search bar. I made the soup exactly as the recipe reads. No changes, no tweaks. It is great just as it is. From Creme de la Crumb, it is a keeper. It is easy to make, I made it in my slow cooker so it would stay warm for several hours since everyone was coming and going at different times. Good the next day too.
