Make It Ahead & Store for Busy Days

Serving Ideas for Cozy Nights

Pair this soup with crusty bread, a side salad, or a grilled cheese sandwich for the ultimate comfort meal. It’s also a perfect starter for a holiday dinner — light yet satisfying. If you’re planning a soup night, serve alongside butternut squash or lentil soup for variety.
