Looking for a SIDE?
The great thing about this soup is it is a complete meal in a bowl. So you don't need to add anything, however as I stated earlier I do love a good home made crusty bread for dipping like this scrumptious sour dough. Of course it doesn't have to be homemade, you can pick some up at your local bakery or grocery store too.

We normally don't have leftovers on this meal my family usually eats it up! If you have left overs, you can store in airtight container for up to days in the refrigerator.

I made this soup last week and I am still thinking about it. It was super easy to throw together and delicious. I even took some to a neighbor who is recovering from an injury. It was a huge hit all around. I will definitely be saving this one and will be making it again and again! Thank you!
