Page 6 March 14 , 2013 T his week we have changed the clocks and are getting ready for spring. With that in mind I thought it would be great to make Southwestern style vegetable and how to bang them by Chef Shafer soup. This full-bodied soup can become a meal by adding seafood, chicken, pork, or beef. This is also a wonderful soup that can be made in advance and will taste even better after the flavors get a chance to meld overnight. Try this one and send me some feedback.
