I came up with this recipe when I was sent home from work because of an ice storm and thought a good soup would really be good, but didn't have a lot of veggies in the freezer or pantry. I looked at what I had and came up with this, which received a great review from my husband. I call it "surprise" because I was really surprised that it was so good!
