I just love how this light, healthy soup is still so warm and comforting on a chilly day. It’s a hearty soup that can stand on its own as the main course, paired with a salad and a loaf of warm, crusty bread.

STORAGE: Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months
