Best soup ever! - Hippymom

Lola Starr · 12-01-2007, 09:34 AM

Last night Big D took me to this art/craft thing at an old farmhouse in Great Falls. The artist who owns the house had made the most delicious & unusual soup. It was a black bean & sweet potato soup.

I have googled & haven't quite found the right combination of the soup. I think hers was just black beans, sweet potatoes, carrots, garlic & maybe not much else. If anyone has one of these recipes PLEASE post it.

Oh & Big D & I went to try the corn chowder when she noticed there was ham or bacon in it. She was looking out for me.

So, then she told me to eat around the ham & I told her that was cheating.
