Spanish Soup

By amaliana

"Gordon Thomson plays Adam Cannington each week on "Dynasty". Born in Canada, Gordon's early acting was in Canadian theater. When he came to America, he played in theater productions and then in a daytime soap, "Ryan's Hope", for a short time. Gordon sees himself as totally different from his "Dynasty" character, and I can tell you there's none of Adam Carrington's evil lurking behind this man!
You can tell from the recipe he's a real garlic lover. Try this Spanish Soup-it probably can even cure a cold!"
