I wanted to make dinner for my daughter and son-in-law, the proud parents of my brand new granddaughter, Nora. I wanted it to be hearty and nutritious and easy. I ended up taking them a big pot of this wonderful soup. It's chock full of good ingredients and it's pure "comfort" food. They can heat up a bowl in the microwave at any hour of the day (or night). I brought along Rosemary bread sticks to round out the meal. Mmmm ... mmmm ... good!
