Don’t worry, you won’t have to read my life’s story and don’t let the name of the soup scare you off. It’s so easy and very good. It might even be healthy.
This soup is an excellent change of pace from typical wintertime warm ups such as chili or chicken and dumplings.
It’s versatile, you can sub out ingredients if there’s something you’re not a fan of.
It takes about 20 minutes to cook if you use frozen vegetables, longer if you use all fresh.
Chicken or fish pair well with this soup. So does garlic bread, but it can stand alone and be a great one pot dish.
