We had a very mild winter here in Calgary. This meant less soups than I usually make. I tend to make a nice big batch of homemade soup about once a week in normal winters, this year soups kind of got forgotten about. I finally got around to making one, and it was super delicious! I really liked this recipe it was quite flavorful and super easy too!
