Tips: This was such an easy soup to put together. Since it made such a large batch, we had some friends over to share it with us. I made it about an hour before dinner then turned the heat off to let the flavor ripen and turned it back on 10 minutes before it was time to eat. I don't think this is necessary but if you have the extra time it might add some extra flavor.
