Yum, what a wonderful soup, great post Shirley. Thanks. High five on this one.


Can't wait to try this after the temperature turns a little cooler here in Georgia. Gonna fix some "homemade cornbread" and some this wonderful sounding soup!


Seems many of us are ready for "soup weather", Shirley, and this one sounds like a great place to start. I love a good minestrone - I can taste it now! Thanks...
