This is a great hearty, protein packed, wintry soup! It tastes great with a baguette dipped in. You don’t even need a side salad with it because it is packed with healthy veggies. It’s a complete meal on its own. I did some experimenting and I think I found just the right combination of veggies! This recipe makes enough to freeze, or enough to feed a small army. I would love to hear what you and your family think of it!
