Literally my favorite soup. Ok, tied for first with Italian Wedding. You know the real me.
It's my kids' favorite soup, though, so I always make sure to make it without onions or they'll never trust me again. They like frozen broccoli, but I'd like to steam some from the garden! (or you know.. the produce section)
