During the fall and winter I make homemade soup once a week. I’ve got dozens of delicious soup recipes, but the Pizza Soup was the favorite of our sons, Keith and Mark. It’s really easy to make. I apologize for the inexact quantities, but this is another recipe that I’ve never written down…and haven’t made it since last winter! I’ve given the basic recipe, but don’t be afraid to add other items you enjoy on your pizza…including a dash of red pepper sauce!

Curried white bean sandwich spread with vegetables, cumin, and soy sauce. A chunky, low-fat, plant-based spread that's packed with fiber and loaded with spiced flavor. Vegan-friendly.

A delicious, filling, and nutritious stew is an ideal dish on a chilly winter day. Serve it with some warm corn tortilla or a few slices of good bread.

This dish was my dinner yesterday, and it was quite tasty. Loved the sweet, sour and salty flavor, and the well balanced texture.
