"Beware the hobby that eats." -Benjamin Franklin

The refrigerator light goes on...

This soup just tastes like a crisp, cold day. The great tart tomato flavor blends so well with the basil and oregano and the goat cheese adds a touch of creaminess. Serve it like your mom used to, with a grilled cheese sandwich, or pile on the veggies with a side salad.
