This one is superb!!!!November 16, 2009By ToniSpauding
"I used half red onion and half white onion. I also used bacon ends(removed all fat) instead of spicy sausage. The chunks of bacon were excellent...and we all know that we love bacon. There was very little left over,enough for two lunches the next day. This soup is wonderful in taste and thickness. I only added the spices called for but perhaps a little more of them. I will be making this one for many years to come."
