This is the first time I’ve thrown together a soup and I’m souper proud of how it came out lol. I LOVE soup!! Me and soup be like…well we would be bffs if it was a human. My hubby doesn’t understand my soup obsessions either. I eat soup in ALL seasons. Don’t sleep on some good soup (#Amys).

This dish is full of flavor. It took an hour to make, but it’s worth it for that reason. Broth to veggies and meat ratio is crucial when making a hearty bowl o goodness. Dare I say everything outside of the title helped bring this recipe home; the carrots (to which I used a colorful medley of purple and white carrots, not just orange). Plenty of shallots, a #dab of garlic powder, and a fresh chop of red bell pepper.

This recipe compliments of Giada De Laurentiis. I will be making more of her dishes again. Cheers!!
