Gypsy Soup!

I had never heard of Gypsy Soup before this endeavor and let me just say, I was missing out! I stayed pretty true to the recipe since it was so new to me. Of course, I used extra garlic. I also substituted the green peppers for red and yellow since they were on sale and taste better. I used two bay leaves instead of one cause I like to live on the edge and I used canned chick peas instead of cooked fresh cause who has time for that. Once again, Kelly was my amazing chopper. I am going to have to keep her on staff in my kitchen permanently I think! Once again, I am wishing I doubled this recipe.

I am looking forward to the weekend so I can continue this soup adventure. The past few days have been somewhat yucky and today pretty much topped it off...and its still early. I am looking forward to the routine of following a recipe. And the satisfaction of tasting it!
