until the deer/groundhog invasion along with my back issues. Gardening has become near impossible around here.
I have however, found an incredible tomato soup recipe, make a mean chicken soup(thanks mom!) lentil barley soup, pea soup and experiment with new recipes.

Fortunately I can afford to buy the vegetables and other fresh ingredients. Those who are forced to use canned soup because of the cost of these fresh ingredients are not so lucky. There are options of organic canned soups and those others available at stores like Whole Foods..... but then there's the Amazon connection.
