Notes
This soup is excellent for those recovering from oral surgery (I discovered
when I had my wisdom teeth removed). It requires no chewing, and you can
make it as spicy or as bland as your stomach can tolerate.
It also reheats really well, so you can make a big batch and eat it as
often as you feel hungry. I honestly never got tired of it.
My friend Kim e-mailed me this recipe in 1994, and I believe it came from
one of the Moosewood Cookbooks. Her directions were from memory and I have added
onion to the recipe, so the only resemblance to the original recipe
may now be the title!
