This soup is one of my all time favourites. It’s loaded with warming spices, (to keep you from catching a chill during the winter) freezes well, tastes incredible and comes from one of my favourite food blogs, Oh She Glows.
Make it tonight! I’m confident that it will become one of your favs as well.
