I’m starting to plan for our annual Easter Egg Hunt on Palm Sunday, and think I’ll serve this, since it makes so much. Yes, it’s also nice to serve on a smaller scale (just reduce the recipe). But it’s ideal when you need a big batch of something, and don’t have a lot of time…
This is a low-carb, gluten-free soup- not to be trendy, but… this is how it tastes best. So easy to make, the cook has enough energy left to still feel romantic. Perfect for Valentine’s Day!
