I just got back from my trip out to California and I had a great time. Such great memories with my hubby and friends. We ran all over San Francisco, ate great food and then spent the remainder of the week on a bike tour riding through sonoma, visiting vineyards. So much fun! BUT, I am glad to be home.
I want the comforts of home, including the food I eat.
I love eating out when we travel, trying new things, but it can become too much, and all I want is some simple wholesome food.
This soup is just the thing to welcome you back home and warming you up. The perfect feel good food.
I made simple swiss cheese sandwiches to serve along side each bowl of soup. As simple as two slices of hearty gluten free bread buttered on each side and filled with a few slices of good quality sliced swiss cheese, cooked golden brown in a skillet or panini press.
