Well, this is the second installment of "Recipe Thursday". I hope you tried and enjoyed last week's recipe. If you are a soup and/or cheese lover, you might want to make this week's yummy feature. This recipe was featured on Paula Dean's show on the Food Network. I gave it a try and loved it.
Here are some helpful hints...I used reduced sodium/fat free chicken stock and didn't add the cayenne pepper; plus I let the soup sit overnight in the frig, so the flavors get a chance to blend. By all means try a bowl after you make it, but leave enough to try on day two. Enjoy!
