This meal is SOUPER.

It's awesome. It's restaurant quality. It's SOUP! I used to have to be one sick chick to eat some soup. Didn't want any part of it. Then there's was this place in South Provo that no longer exists. Its was called Bayside Bagels. They had a Creamy chicken wild rice soup that taste so good it would make you wanna slap somebody! I mean that soup with an Asiago bagel was all a woman needed on a cold winter day.


Well Bayside was sold and then disappeared and now some mexican restaurant is where my beloved Soup haven used to be. *sigh*
Ok so anyway. I can't have that soup anymore but i found THIS soup and its equally good. If I ever open up that lunch counter or start catering like I've been thinking about.. .THIS will be my specialty item along with my olive oil rosemary french bread that I MIGHT post the recipe to one day.


If you don't like this soup, I'll send you a can of your favorite campbell's!
