Notes

Tastes even better if you let it sit for a day.

  • Such a classic soup, and so great when you want something that’s filling but not too heavy. I think you can usually sneak some extra veg in as well if you wish. This is great as either an entree or a complete meal for those days you want something pretty simple.
