Happy 11-11-11! I bet lots of weddings are happening today. Anywho, I just have a quick soup to share. I was kind of surprised to see that this was a Martha Stewart recipe, seeing as it’s made of like 99% canned / pre-made items. It was ok for a quick week night meal. It definitely needs some heat and cheese on top, though!
