Now if you are a reader of my other blog then you know this is a repeat as well, though they are new photos. I got the Lowel EGO lights for Christmas and wanted to try them out. I was apprehensive about using lights at first but really like them and am pleased with the results.
I love this soup and felt it was worth putting up again. It’s my go to soup for entertaining. Do not skip the pear and bacon topping as that’s what really makes this soup sing.
Hope everyone has a wonderful 2009 and celebrates saying goodbye to 2008 in a safe manner!
