Notes
This recipe can easily be doubled, if you so desire. It also freezes well, so when the soup is done, don't dress it (like you would a bowl you're going to eat immediately), and transfer to freezer-tight storage containers. When you're ready to enjoy it, let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, then top with the toppings of your choice.
