Chicken and Veggie Soup

With fall right around the corner, I was craving some homemade soup. This surely hit the spot! When thinking of comfort food, this is on the list. It’s filling and has just the right amount of spice. It will definitely be a go-to this upcoming fall and winter. Plus, it’s healthy! Feel free to add other veggies (potatoes would make a great addition!). This is a great recipe to kick off this fall season!
