You’re probably looking at this and thinking “seriously, Kiersten? Don’t you know it’s August and about a million degrees outside?” Well yes, I realize it’s hot out. I do live in Texas. But I also realize that soup is one of the easiest meals to make, it’s all made in one pot (meaning less dishes to clean), and it’s the best way to sneak in some amazing nutrition in the form of homemade bone broth and leafy green veggies.
Plus who says you have to eat soup warm? Call me crazy but I love cold soup, maybe even more than hot soup. Well probably not in the winter. Nothing beats a warm bowl of soup in the winter. But it’s not winter. It’s summer and it’s stinking hot.
