It is my opinion that you can NEVER have too many good soups tucked away in your tried-and-true file. Soups are so great for weeknights, meals for others, warming you up after a cold day, and are simply comfort foods at their finest. Not to mention it is a fabulous way to get veggies in those kiddos that would otherwise refuse to eat a veggie otherwise!
This soup turned out super yummy, is definitely filling, and the next time I make this I want to eat it out of a bread bowl…YUM!
