The last soup Thursday of January! 

Eggplant Parmesan Soup..This is one of my FAVE soups- even sworn eggplant haters will be surprised to find that they like it.  Ingredients:  eggplants (roasted), olive oil, garlic, onions, celery, stewed tomatoes, tomato juice, oregano, basil, garlic croutons, shredded parm, balsamic vinegar, kosher salt & pepper.  Garnished w. fresh basil & parm.  Vegetarian, Vegan (the parm is omitted and it still tastes great!) 13. per quart served w. bread for dipping.
