I like to make a big crockpot full of this soup, but it can also be made in a large pot on the stove. It freezes amazingly well and keeps in the refrigerator for about a week. There are 2 parts to this recipe. The first part is preparing the soup, and the second is 'assembling' it. This is a great casual dinner party food and guests get a kick out of making this soup their own.
