Yummy yummy yum yum

A friend was asking for this recipe, and since it isn't the first time I've been asked, I figured I'd post it, and then just refer folks here. Super easy and yummy, sometimes I add chicken, sometimes over rice, sometimes I omit the red pepper so the kids won't freak out. It can easily be turned veggie friendly with vegetable broth and maybe some tofu for fun!
