Recipe Note
Serving Suggestions: This is such a hearty soup that it is truly a meal in itself. All that's really needed as an accompaniment is a generous salad bowl‚ a combination of tomatoes, greens, and scallions with a sharp French or Italian dressing. Add crunchy hot rolls and sweet butter and you have a delicious meal.
