I literally crave this soup. It is my all-time favorite and EVERYONE who makes it loves it! It’s super healthy and filling and when combined with a salad, it’s a complete meal.
Give this simple recipe a try and be prepared to double or triple it the next time you make it after you see how quickly it disappears!
