I can sure see why you won first place. This is a hearty, warm soup full of flavor and perfect for cold winter days. Clear directions and great taste. I made a few minor changes - used one red and one green bell pepper (for color) added one peeled and chopped potatoe, left out the yellow squash (mine had gone bad) and added 1 teaspoon crushed red peppers to the mix. DH delcared this a winner on our table too. Made for TOTM soup tag.
