Well, what crazy week it's been so far. Both my son and I have been diagnosed with influenza A, and let me tell you...it's no walk in the park. If I can eat, I'm eating soup out of a can. I've longed for someone to make me this yummy recipe, my kids love soup so it's always a hit and perfect for a day you aren't feeling well or the weather is bad.
