Up until our first frost on October 17th, our garden was still producing some tomatoes and peppers, so I have been enjoying adding these last bits of fresh homegrown veggies to our meals. When the frost and cooler weather hit, I was definitely in the mood for some warm and hearty soups to grace our dinner table. So, I began digging through my cookbooks in search of some new things to try. I found this recipe in an old Taste of Home Holiday Celebrations Cookbook and it certainly fit the bill for a warm and hearty fall meal. Better yet, it let me use some of the tomatoes and peppers from our October garden yield. This soup is a way to warm your family after a day of raking leaves or hiking through the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect specimens for your fall decorating or pumpkin carving.
Enjoy!
