Wow! This looks gorgeous.
Nice job. I’ve been eating a lot of soup lately and this looks incredibly unique. I will have to try this. Thanks.
Hi Vic, Thank you for your comment. This was a very nice soup – very quick and easy to make. I’m going to get some more cans of tomatoes, and artichokes for the next week. We’re due for very cold weather again and this soup is so nice, I will do it again. But will also be doing my husband’s favorite “Best lentil Soup Ever http://www.vegalicious.org/2006/12/02/best-ever-lentil-soup/ Think I’ll make a big pot for the New Year.
Hi Mark, Thank you for your comment. Yes, we eat a lot of soup too…please look through the soup section of the index- there are some very special ones there. This was really nice, and great that it was so easy to make. I often start from scratch with veggies from the garden, but it was nice this time just to use the canned goods from the pantry.
Looks and sounds delicious. I LOVE artichokes and tomato together.. and putting them in a soup is genius!
