I love making soups when the weather is cold outside. I especially love a soup that is quick, easy and ready in under 30 minutes. When the weekend rolls around we are either really busy or taking it easy and spending a lot of time in the kitchen is usually not on my agenda. So a soup like this is perfect, I can still provide my family with a yummy lunch, but not be stuck in the kitchen.
