A great memory of this soup is sliding it across a frozen parking lot to my friend when we lived in townhomes across from each other. It was obviously very cold outside, and the parking lot was a slippery sheet of ice. I wanted to share this soup, and we decided to try sliding it across like a hockey puck! It worked!
This is a great soup, low fat, weight watchers friendly and yummy!
