This girl knows her way around a comforting soup! I’ve had this so many times, and it never disappoints. I just made it last night for a group of people before we headed out to look at Christmas lights, and the house smelled absolutely incredible. Cozy, savory, and irresistible. there wasn’t a single spoonful left by the time we walked out the door.
