I love this soup ! It is super easy to prepare and the result is a delicious comforting and tasty soup that will leave you more than satisfied! Perfect for the colder seasons but also great for the rest of the year - my family loves it so much that we have it several times during the year !


The recipe includes a lot of delicious spices and sauces and chili or cayenne pepper. If you are going to be cooking for the family , I would suggest to skip the cayenne pepper or the chili, so the children can enjoy it without a problem .


I hope you enjoy it! It is absolutely delicious . Please visit and follow my instagram profile for more delicious recipes: https://www.instagram.com/cynthia_homemade
