It’s that time of year when soup sounds good just about every night to make us feel warm and cozy. This one fits the bill and it’s cheap too. Probably the most expensive thing in this recipe is the optional bacon; but if you are stockpiling, you may already have some in your freezer! If you don’t have any, it really is optional – perfectly tasty without it.
