Thank you Beth!!!! I am so glad you are going to make it. I hope you enjoyed it. 🙂
This soup looks awesome! (As do all of your recipes). I’m over here re-pinning like crazy. Thanks for sharing! 😀
Thank you so much Diane! You are so kind. 🙂
Your pictures are gorgeous. Interested how you got the lighting to work so well?
This soup seems perfect for the weather we’ve been having in Louisiana!
Thank you Celina. I used natural lighting. Basically I found a spot in my kitchen and positioned the pot/bowl so that I got light coming in from the back(back lighting). I think my camera settings were ISO-100, F-5.6 and 0.4 SEC. I use a Canon btw. Hope that helps 🙂
Oh my yum! This looks amazingly delicious. And healthy. Pinning for later!
