Soups On!

December 06, 2010

By now you probably know that I live in the cold, white (and getting whiter by the day) north - Minnesota! While, I'm not sure I'll ever totally accept the reality of harsh winters here, I do know that there is nothing better to combat the cold - and maybe a little SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) too, then a steaming bowl of soup. This is one of our hearty, and oh so easy favorites... enjoy!

Zatarain's Red Beans and Rice Soup

Makes about 10 cups - 4 PointsPlus value(s) per cup
