Southwestern Soup (archive)



Who doesn't think soup when the temperature drops, as it did last night here in Birmingham? I know I do! 


This recipe was in the January 2009 issue of Southern Livingand it was one of the first recipes I tried when I dipped my toe into the world of food blogging.  I rated it quite high by typing "keeper" on the recipe.
