A delicious soup recipe for a cold day

It has been freezing here lately. Below zero temps. When it is that cold outside, it just makes me want to put a pot of soup on. I love any kind of soup, but this one is one of my favs. This is the soup that got my hubby to marry me. I made this for him on our second date, and after that he was hooked. You know what they say, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. So true. It is warm, creamy, comforting, and delicious, and the best part, my kids love it!

Not the best pic, but here is the recipe.
