Fire Roasted Goodness*

Thanks for voting this one of Foodbuzz' TOP 9 Recipes!

Okay, so I must confess, this post has no real highlighted ingredient or technique.

It's really about a working mom with only a few minutes to spare between kid taxi service 

and domestic diva duties ;-)

 I really wanted a 

flavorful meal that satisfies in this winter weather.

My solution: Soup...fast!

I took some help from the grocery store, and added some fresh ingredients~

This soup has it all, spice, smokiness and warmth.

Ahhhh just what the doctor ordered!

1/4 Cup Cilantro (chopped)
