Every tissue station in our home was empty, and this forced me to go to the grocery. Really, there was something I needed far more than aloe Kleenex. I needed a pot of soup, and not just any soup. I needed a certain, simple, and simply wonderful soup.

We are headed into the peak of flu season, and boy do I have a treat for you. Whether you are well, sick, or sick of being sick, this is a winner. I venture to say that my dear daughter-in-law’s recipe is destined to become a favorite for you as well.
