This recipe has saved us on winter nights when we’re too tired to cook. The preparation and cooking time together take about 10 minutes. The soup is rich and filling, but doesn’t leave you feeling heavy. Slice a piece or two of whole grain bread for dipping. The soup will keep in the refrigerator for a few days, so take advantage of the leftovers.
