Alotizzip Eggplant Soup

Recipe #303217 | 1 hour | 30 min prep | SERVES 6 -8 , 1 soup pot (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Alotizzip73

This is a favorite from my childhood. My mother found it in Sunset Magazine back in the late 70's and made it a winter staple. It's cheap, low in fat, and high in all the good stuff. Leftovers make great lunches during the following week.
