I love Soup!!!
We eat a lot of soup and this is by far, a favorite. This recipe comes from the Adventure Cuisine Cookbook, from the Red Mountain Spa in Southern Utah.
The Adventure Chefs at Red Mountain Spa have put together a great guide for the kitchen. This recipe is easy, simple and delicious. Give this one a try; I don’t think you will be disappointed. Enjoy!
