Growing up, my Great Aunt and her family ran a tea room/restaurant in Westwood Village, CA that was named El Encanto. It was renowned as having the best vegetable soup in southern California (maybe the whole state).
As a young kid, vegetable soup was not my thing, but this stuff was so good we regularly hung out there, playing with the adding machines in the office, and the dishwashing machine in the kitchen... and having a free lunch.
Talking with my Brother on Thanksgiving day, he mentioned he had run across a recipe for this soup in a bunch of papers he was going through to thin things out. I was amazed when he seemed to think it was done in our Aunt's handwriting. It is enroute to me as I write this. While it is not a simple recipe (according to my brother), I can assure you it is worth the effort and I will share it here as soon as I transcribe it.
Stay tuned.
