Well we've almost eaten all of The Vegetable Beef Soup from the other day. It has been really good, but it's time for a change now. This time I have a recipe for soup without any tomato products in it. This soup is more of a chunky hearty soup. Although just about any soup is good comfort food; this soup has less acid in it. There are no tomato products in it, so therefore less acid. It's hearty, delicious and will warm you on a cold day. If it's cold outside or even if it's not, give this soup a try. #2.
