This recipe comes straight out of Brian Noyes' newest cookbook The Red Truck Bakery Farmhouse Cookbook. Brian is the owner of the now famous Red Truck Bakery in northern Virginia; pay a visit if you haven't, yet, it is a treat. 

Brian, a trained chef, has as very creative palate.  I had the pleasure of carrying his books and Red Bull coffee in my Arlington shop, The Cookery.  Recently, I interviewed Brian about his new book at Red Barn Mercantile.  Thumbing through the book is a delight, but this recipe really stood out to me as autumn approaches - the leafs are turning and mornings require a warm sweater.  This is soup season and this one warms to the soul.
