I am finally posting my first post of 2010. I have been really busy with the visit of my two older kids that came from Ontario. We had such a great time.
For this month Cooking Light Virtual Supper Club we are making Soups & Stews. I prepared a Spicy Tomato and White Bean Soup. This soup is ready in less than 15 minutes because you do use the food processor to chop the fresh vegetables. Instead of navy beans I used black beans. This soup was refreshing and healthy.
