To wake a heart that has been so long forgotten

Come with me, come with me
Please dance to the song
For it has been so very long

Catherine

    I was looking for a soup recipe for Wednesday -- another snow day -- and I think I've found it. Take good care and keep cozy!

    Hi Catherine, you wouldn't think this would work, but it does. I have never heard of this before, and I love it before I can taste it. So many healthy ingredients and it must be very comforting especially on theses snowy cold days. Love soup of any kind...and this is totally different! Thanks for sharing, Blessings on a great week, stay warm and cozy! Dottie :)

    This soup is such a great idea, Catherine. Marion insists on buying a head of lettuce every time we go shopping. Since I don't normally eat lettuce, now I know how to sneak it in to a leftover dinner rather than running out into the snow and leaving it for the rabbits, lol...Thanks for sharing, Catherine. I'm sure I'll still have some for the Rabbits too:)
