I made it! I give it a D+....for Decadent, Delicious and Devoured!!!! A wonderful soup Keni...I added just a touch more hot sauce and several dashes of my Signature Spice Blend, otherwise no changes. It was the perfect thing for supper on a cold, blustery day! Everybody loved it and I froze the remaining for leftovers to take to work. Served with a crusty bread and it's the perfect winter meal! Another keeper!
