Pizza Soup

Snow Drops

This first week of spring was warm and what a joy it was finding the snow drops. There are several different types of snow drops, each with a unique name. We only have this one at the farm. They have grown here for at least forty years and as of yet, I have not been able to find out their name. If anyone knows, please leave me a comment, I would love to hear from you.

I was missing all our families this week, especially our grandchildren. When we get together, quite often we have pizza. With that in mind, Souper Lynda’s Pizza Soup recipe came to my attention. She could not be with us, as she is the baking queen at Purity Ice Cream, does income taxes at H&R Block, plus is working on a master’s degree in her spare time!! She mentioned that not only did this soup have great flavor, but it was fun to make. We took Saturday afternoon, had a pizza party making the soup and wow it really does taste like pizza!! This soup is great for anyone over 60, under 10 and anyone in between. I know my grandchildren could even make this!
