I have to say Thank-You!!! This was the best soup I have ever made!! I followed the recipe except for a few minor adjustments. I put sliced carrots in along with all major ingredients. I am a Packer Cheesehead, so may have added just a bit more cheese.... but this recipe was The Bomb-Diggity!! Thanks Bobbie#3!!!!

This is a picture of me with my oldest grandson, DJ and was taken this past summer when we went on a cruise and land tour of Alaska.
I am retired after working for the same company for 25 years. My husband is a retired military officer. After the military he started working for Lockheed and is now retired from there as well. We live in San Jose, CA and have lived in the same house for over 33 years. We have two grown children and 6 beautiful grandchildren. I love to try new recipes and jazz up old ones. Taste of Home and Southern Living are my favorite recipe magazines(I enjoy reading a little bit about the people who submit the recipes). Recipe Zaar is just an incredible site. I've made many new friends since joining. I have tons of cookbooks -- but now when I need a new recipe that I know I can count on, I come here!
