Now don't think this soup is only for November!
(I think that based on the poem, May is my fav-mix it once mix it twice ...)

this is wonderful soup...I just emailed it to my mom..she was asking if I could get it from you!!
And thanks to my handy MS clip art measurement chart from Miss Alisa, I know how many cups are in a quart of milk. (That and many many 3rd grade drills.)
oh oh oh and I bet you could use leftover turkey in this too!!!!
