All I want to eat this time of year is soup! Although it can be enjoyed year-round, this is really the time of year I want a warm bowl of nourishing goodness. This has been one of my go-to from scratch recipes for years! Once you have the basics down, it is so easy to accommodate to your family’s preferences or what you have in your fridge! For this recipe, I truly took inventory of what I had on hand, using up any veggies that were nearing expiration and frozen chicken. Once you feel like you have the measurements down, adjust anything to your liking! I simply love this recipe and hope you do too. Enjoy!
