A kind of meal that gives us pure comfort. Warming us during this cool winter season or as what I call it Soup season.

Soup is my go-to, especially on a busy cold day. It warms your belly and soul :), a true comforting meal.

The other thing that I love about this recipe is that it’s great to make it ahead of time and it keeps incredibly well in the fridge and freezer for up to 3 months. Especially for those days when you need a quick meal, then you can just defrost it in the fridge the night before and re-heat in a pot on the stove.

Furthermore, this amazing soup is made in the crockpot, so the preparation is quick and easy. Thus, much less work and no-fuss!!
