I love trying old family classics now that I am an adult and am not scared off by vegetables and many other things I was convinced I hated as a child. Last flu season my mother thought she would try reintroducing this recipe back into the family and was greeted with rave reviews. Now any time anyone gets the slightest sniffle or feels a bit of a chill we all are demanding this magical hearty bowl of deliciousness. I have put a little twist on the recipe by dousing my bowl with shredded cheese and Worcestershire for a wonderful creamy smokey flavor .
