I am making this soup, from this recipe which I found quite a few years ago on this site, right at this very moment. I have made it umpteen times (read=too many times to remember) in those years and because it's such a simple basic recipe, it never fails. It's such a homely, comfy soup. To whoever put it on this site, me, my family and friends thank you so much.
