This soup is cozy and delicious! It’s surprisingly less complicated than it seems. I will be making it for all my winter weather gatherings!
Made this tonight and loved it! Would you change the cooking time to include chicken or beans for some protein?
I found some butternut squash on sale at the store, so I added a few cups of it to this. I also left one can of corn out, immersion blended it about 90% of the way and then added the other can of corn in. So good!!
Great soup to add to the weekly rotation!
