Good Eats Indian Summer Soup

"This soup is served at a local restaurant called Lucky's Cafe. I believe it was originally served at Good Eats, which is no longer in business and seems to have transmogrified itself into Lucky's. The recipe was originally published in the Dallas Morning News in 1996. I'm guessing at the preparation time as I've never made this recipe at home - I've only had the soup in the restaurant. And boy, is it good!!!"

  1. This is delicious! Good Eats is actually still around and I ate there a few days ago...that's actually why I searched for this recipe. <br/><br/>I actually tried customizing Paula Deen's recipe for creamy cheddar soup by just adding poblano peppers and pre-cooked chicken breasts because it was super easy, but next time I make this, i'm definitely using this recipe. Thanks!
