This week, my youngest daughter and I visited Lindley’s Mill, North Carolina, where a small Revolutionary War battle took place. My g-g-g-g-g-g grandfather (yes, that’s 6), a Major, lost his life in that battle in September 1781. The facts of the Battle of Lindley’s Mill are just fascinating.

Because I adore soup in the winter months, I have another soup recipe for you today! In fact, we eat soup at least once a week here at the Hill House when the weather is cool. Soup fills up the tummy, is usually fairly frugal, feeds a crowd with leftovers, and is a great way …
