We made it through quite a year & now I'm ready for a new start! I stocked up my pantry with some healthy ingredients including chicken breast and vegetables... and it's the perfect time to detox a bit from the holidays. I found that soup is a good way to reset my body after all the indulgent food I enjoyed over the holiday months. This soup is full of good, clean foods and the flavor develops even more the next day!
