The hubby is still healing from wisdom teeth surgery, so the goal is to keep him from chewing. It means a lot of soup while it's still summer, but what else can you do but go with the flow?
This soup actually is well suited for summer, I think. It's a basic soup that you can dress up as you wish. I could easily see adding some fresh summer corn and tomato to this, for example.
No matter what, this is a good soup recipe to keep in your pocket. Most soups are a minimum of 45 min. This one is under 30.
