I got this recipe from my friend Melinda. It is so easy and fabulous tasting! It has great flavor and the croutons make a yummy topping. I love how easy it is to make. It would be a good recipe to make when you are entertaining because it can all be put together and in the oven with no last minute things to do. Thanks Melinda - once again you gave me a winner!
