"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
This is a delicious soup recipe I got from my very dear friend Susan Gideonse (now Rehhauser). Susan and I were best friends all through grade school, middle school, college and beyond. This is a hearty soup and the french bread with swiss cheese is the perfect compliment.
