I like the soup idea and GG's idea sounds good.

This would also be good to keep the Italian theme however. I love this soup.....and spinach can be used instead of kale, and I'd never use "fake bacon". What a crime. lol

I love that soup! Do you think it would still be good with milk over heavy cream? (Not as good, but just good. )

I'm sure it would be fine. Remember, though, that the recipe serves 8 people, so each serving has only 1/8 cup of cream. Half and half would work, too.

I would still love to hear your thoughts chief. You always have such good ideas, and I may need to call upon your wisdom another time.

BBQ sauce has tomatoes in it. I know because I was allergic to tomatoes and there were so many things I couldn't have.

I like the soup idea alot.

Another idea is to make foccacia on pizza dough (I use red and white onion in slices, olives, etc.). Just roll the dough out (even on your pizza pan) and brush with olive oil, top with the toppings and bake like pizza. You could have it and a pizza, it and soup or all three. Whatever suits your time.

You read my mind LP, I was thinking foccacia when I read this I love garlic and olive foccacia. Maybe some basil pesto pasta with carpaccio
