A Soup to Keep the Sniffles Away

The past two weeks I have been sick as a dog. Fever, ear infections, sinus issues but thankfully I'm starting to feel a bit better. I love a good soup, especially when I am under the weather. This is favorite of mine and hopefully soon to be one of yours. You can always add in diced chicken and one of my favorite things about this soup (other than it is delicious!) is that it freezes well. I like to make a big batch and freeze half of it for a quick dinner.
