Yummy Soup

So I have one of those friends who is amazing. She always knows when to call or stop by, she is the first to lend a hand and I can just talk to her for hours and hours on end. She really is a gem. Well....She hurt her knee and when I found out I had to all but beg her to let me bring her dinner. She finally agreed and I am taking it tomorrow.
Well...I knew I wanted to do more so I decided to put together a yummy surprize lunch for her.
I packed a little sack lunch for her son and sent a big jar of my favorite homemade soup. I stopped by the bakery and bought some fresh bread bowls. Mmm, Mmm....The soup makes a ton so there was plenty for my family too.

My cute sister in law gave me the recipe years ago and I LOVE it. Its my go to recipe anytime I am in need for a girly lunch. We served it at a Mother/Daughter event a couple years ago and it was gobbled up. Anyway, I thought I would share it on the blog in case any of my readers want to give it a try.
