This soup came about when I needed to clear room in the fridge and freezer for the holiday cookie and candy madness that started! It was use it or pitch it day! Glad I wrote everything down as I made it, because it turned out so wonderful that it's a keeper for LIFE! Though the veggies I use may vary in the future to what I have on hand, this specific combo was to DIE for! Absolutely phenominal! A rich, thick, cheesy soup that doesn't taste like beer. Just spicy heavenly goodness!! Enjoy!! :) Photo by me.
