I love a good bowl of soup andy time of year.  We have driven by Zoup! a million times and say every time...we should try it sometime.  Yesterday was the day...cold, wet, dreary day.

Zoup!

12 soups to choose from daily.  And you can sample all of them and then decided what you would like to order.

Next time I have a cold.....

Michael's lunch of tomato basil and some monster sandwich.

Mark had a lentil soup and another monster sandwich.  Some kinds of buffalo chicken

Just give me some collard greens and barley soup and a hunk of bread.!  Delicious!

In a large Dutch oven over medium heat heat olive oil.  And onion and bell peppers and season with salt, and pepper.  Cook until almost tender, about 5 minutes.  Stir in chicken and season with salt, pepper, and oregano.  Cook chicken until the chicken is golden, about 5 minutes, then stir in andouille sausage, garlic, and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, about a minute more.  Add the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, rice and Old Bay seasoning.  Reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is almost absorbed about 20 minutes.  Add the shrimp to the pot and cook until the shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.  Stir in green onions just before serving.
