Vegetable Bisque

Today was one of those days where all my kids seemed a little crazy and I needed an extra dose of patience. Let's hope that tomorrow is a better day!

Tonight I made this recipe, which is from my mom. I cut the recipe in half and we had 2 extra servings of leftovers. I also added a cup of chicken to the soup - Tyler doesn't think it is a meal without some meat =)
