The Perfect Homemade Soup Recipe for Cold Days
As we’re approaching the coldest months of the year, our family tends to have soups for dinner more frequently. It just makes you feel warm and cozy, not to mention how tasty this recipe is! I usually make enough to where we have leftovers so I will heat it up for lunch the next day and it tastes just as good. It’s a hearty soup with good portions of meats and veggies. I also added brown rice which is optional if you want to add some grains as well 🙂
