Calling All Soup-er Heroes Take 2

It has been rainy and miserable the last couple weeks.  I finally was fed up with it and decided to make soup.  I was holding out as long as possible since I don't want to think about Fall being here already.  This soup is a remake of this one....this time it was even better.  My boys loved it. If they could bring HOT soup in their lunches, they would have definitely brought this warming soup.  BTW these two superheroes loved this soup.
