OMG!!! If you haven't tried this recipe, you owe it to yourself and family, to cook up a batch!! The smells that waifed throught this house were absolutely painful!! I had planned on letting it simmer slowly for the majority of the afternoon, but wound up eating supper much earlier than usual, cuz we just couldn't wait. The only thing I can think of that would be better than the smell of this soup would be home baked bread with the soup!

One word of caution...don't plan on serving 8 with this recipe, unless you make two batches!

Thanks LF!!!
