Slow Cooking Thursday

This is the time of year when I start getting out my soup recipes. Soup is really a universal meal. You can just throw in anything. Some of my favorite meal growing up were my Grandmother's soups. Recently I called her and asked her to write down her recipes for me. She said, well I hardly ever follow a recipe. I said Ok could you just write down what you put in it. She again said well with my soups I just throw in what I have. So I have taken on her form of soup making. But I found this recipe on All Recipes that is close to the one we make. Enjoy!!
