| Recipe Title: Snow Day Soup Contributed by: Maggidew
Note from the Diva
I wanted hot soup today. We have 6+ inches of snow on the ground and have been out playing and taking pictures. This is not a heavy soup but it delivers protein and much-needed warmth. Next time I will add some carrots. I was purposely going low on carbs in the soup so I could enjoy my favorite carbs on the side.
I make my soups right in the soup pot, starting with any browning/sauteing to do.
