Cold weather makes me want crave soup. This soup is very good, and my husband doesn't usually like "pureed" soups. (It's a texture thing.) We all loved it. I have started making large batches of soup, serving some the night I make it, bagging the rest into labeled quart or gallon-sized freezer bags, placing the bags flat on a baking sheet, and freezing them. Once they're frozen, I can "file" them upright along one side of the freezer, it's easy to see the contents, and easy to pull out. Then, I have a quick appetizer or entree that takes up very little of my freezer space. I love to serve just a little soup in a shot glass or small coffee or tea cup. It's just enough to warm you inside without feeling like you're drinking your dinner.
