This soup is a comfort food you do not have to feel guilty about eating. Find locally grown vegetables at the Lenexa Farmers Market.
Parenting tip: To interest kids in this soup, introduce it as a dip for crackers. Then transition to eating it as a soup instead. Who wouldn’t want to eat dip straight out of the bowl, right?
