This is the ultimate cold-weather soup as the days are slowly becoming chillier. It’s hearty, healthy and super easy as it’s all thrown together in one pot. A comforting bowl of this savory and delicious soup is the perfect way to enjoy this turn of seasons. It’s also perfectly acceptable to throw in some other variety of vegetables if that is what you have on hand. Improvise and enjoy! 🙂
