Description
This is a recipe by Barbara Pool Fenzl found in the March 2003 Bon Appetit. I made this soup as the first course to a steak dinner, it is spicy and delicious, and very simple to prepare. I cut up some of the leftover steak and combined it with the soup for lunch today and it was a delicious variation, I'm going to try it with chicken as well.
