Winter Vegetable Soup Recipe

Vegetable Soup Recipe

In winter, there’s nothing better than sitting down with a blanket and a big bowl of warm soup. I’m personally a big fan of chicken-based soups: chicken noodle, chicken and rice, chicken and vegetables… the list goes on. I try to eat meatless for dinner 1-2 times a week, and the perfect opportunity for this is with soup. The photo might not look that appetizing, but trust me- it was. Below is a recipe I tested out for a winter vegetable soup- adapted from Making Lemonade.
