It has been too long - much too long - since I posted a soup recipe. Soups are truly one of my favorite dinner options. And this one now tops the list.
It will never compare with my chicken noodle soup which is a favorite of the hubs, but this recipe takes only 30 minutes, not 3 hours. And I absolutely adore Southern Living's idea of serving it along side a whole wheat tortilla, layered with hummus, snow peas, grated carrots, cucumber slices and ginger dressing. Yum!
Enjoy!
