WoRC - I can't wait to see you tanked out on booze, hon - you must be a riot! 45 is freezing? 45 makes me weep here - too warm for snow :( Emily - it really does smell awesome. I agree! So glad you enjoy the blog! Jeanette – I think the snow makes the soup taste even better :) Thanks!

I made it before leaving for work and ate it for dinner with my boyfriend. First of all, the smell is just fantastic! I wanted to eat the whole pot full this morning! 2nd, the cinnamon stick is a wonderful addition! The soup is wonderful! Cant wait to eat it for lunch tomorrow! I should have brought it with me to work today!! Thanks for your awesome blog! I love it so much and look forward to seeing what you create everyday. :) Even though it was almost 90 degrees here in LA today, I was determined to make this fabulous soup!

It really is very very good. I made some homemade buttermilk biscuits on the side and that was it, a nice easy and satisfying meal. And congrats on 4 years of blogging.

The food processor sucks at chopping onions, which is why I prefer to do it myself by hand. Funny how some images trigger other sensation memories in our heads! Mrs E - awww, you're very sweet, my dear. Soups are awesome! Kathy - thanks! Rosa - thanks so much, dear. Lauren - I love the stuff! Caitlin - yay! Susy - don't you love it? Fiona - Dessert pig? That's a winner! I cook the pasta first so that it doesn't cloud up the soup and introduce lots of starch into the broth. Well, I like the all-clad and other higher end pans because they have aluminum or copper core. Those cores heat quickly and retain heat better for improved heat distribution on the pan. I don't know too much about Revere Ware... but you may want to just try one all-clad piece to see how you like it. That's how I got hooked :) Mollie - Four years. And now you're along for the ride! Nicisme - aww, thank you so much :) You are such a sweetie! Jennywenny - Chilly in SD? It's true... that fog, huh? Sometimes fog makes me feel colder than standing in 10 degree weather :) Thanks - let's hope it's a good 2009! Lezel - hee hee! I hope you love it as much as I do. Kathy - thank you :) Sunshine - Thanks! Yes, pets are really wonderful. Kaweah made me feel much better when I was feeling so bad. My spices are stored in a really haphazard way... But I'll take a picture tomorrow and post it for you to see. I'm sure I'm breaking all sorts of rules about spice storage. Linda - thanks!! Mimi - thank you. Lori - you're making my head blow up so much I won't be able to fit through the doorway! :) WC - thanks hon! God, I love Vietnamese food... but I want a pro like you or Diane to show me how to do it RIGHT :) Stacey - thanks, I hope you like the recipe! Anita - YOU are such a dear. Thanks for your sweet words and thanks for inspiring me too! Susan - my wonderful friend! I'm just as proud to call you mine. I was wondering if cinnamon was authentic or someone's bright idea at Fine Cooking? ;) Peabody - I'll stick around if *you* promise to stick around :) Zoe - you're such a riot :) Thanks for keeping me company! Margie - A blogiversary is just a mark in time... time still marches on. I hope you like the soup. I think soup is just one of those wonderful restorative meals. Makes me happy :) Amy - yay, headlong! That's how I feel. I never used ditalini before, but I *love* it! You've got good taste in pasta, baby! Luv2cook - thank you. Nate - woohoo to you guys! I hope the next few years will bring many more great recipes and good blogging buddies! Mimi - way to go, girlfriend! Melissa - I think it's one of those recipes that has a lot of variation and can be terrible to okay to awesome. I'm just glad to finally have found a recipe that I like!
