It’s really hard to believe, but we actually had snow flurries in South Carolina. I’m not used to the cold weather especially since most of this year’s winter has been spent with temperatures in the 60’s and 70’s. I needed something to warm me up. I remembered that when I was doing my Whole30 I had made Tuscan Chicken Soup and put the leftovers in the freezer. All I had to do was thaw out the soup and reheat. That was perfect and just what I needed in this cold weather.
What’s your favorite soup to make? I’d love to hear about it in the comments below. 🙂
Enjoy!
