OMG. This one sounds fabulous. Will be making this one soon. Thanks for sharing.


I love making soups. This sounds so good! Thanks.


I must try this great sounding soup. Thanks.


Great recipe. We had beer can chicken left over and made the stock from scratch. We like a little more zing so we put a whole can of med. enchilada sauce in.
