    August 30, 2020cookwcharacter

    This is not a soup meant as a light snack or meal. This is SOUP. Its heavy and decadent and delicious. And don’t even look at the calories. But its worth it! I wanted to make this on a Saturday afternoon, so I set everything up and pulled out the rice flour I had to…
