Hello everyone! Once again, it is almost winter, and that means that things are starting to get cold (or at least as cold as it can get here in San Diego County). That means that many people are looking for recipes to make nice, hot dishes that will warm you up. Below is a simple chicken soup for you to make if you are seeking a simple yet good meal that you can throw together without too many ingredients. I make it every Thursday so that my dad can have the night off.
