As a New England girl, I am use to crazy weather so when the temps dropped this past week after a long weekend in Vegas I was ready for some soup. I tried to grab some at lunch but everyplace I went was expensive or watery - I just had to make it myself. I knew that my schedule was going to be a little crazy so I wasn't going to be able to hang around for hours simmering but I needed a little more than just stick it in the crockpot. I made a compromise that did leave me with a few extra dishes but dinner much faster and easier than either of the other ways!
The easy secret to this soup is the spice blend. I have mentioned them a hundred times before (and I do not get paid to say this) but I just love my spice blends from Spices Inc. it just makes getting dinner together a little easier. Also the hardest part can be getting the ratio of the spices correct - when using a blend that's already done just add to your desired intensity. Plus its a lot easier to put everything away with just one bottle to take out.
