This recipe is a mash-up of one making the rounds on Facebook whose creator seems to be lost in the Sands of Data. (If anyone knows, please post it in the comments and I'll give credit where it's due.) I made it as written last winter, but it was just too thick for me, and I don't say that easily. I love thick soups! So I'll post the original recipe and suggest my modifications. Play around with this recipe, too, and mash-up a new family favorite. =^..^=
