I am menu planning for the time my granddaughter is going to be here. Looking ahead, the weather is going to be typical PNW gray and rainy. So soups sound mighty good to me. One thing that is nice is that although she is 4 1/2, she loves spicy. This recipe looks like a good one to try, not too spicy but tasty! This is from my Cooking In the South cookbook by Johnnie Gabriel, cousin of one of my faves, Paula Deen!
