Soup

10 ingredients or less

One-bowl / one-pot

Freezer-friendly
This protein-packed soup requires little supervision, takes only a few minutes to prep, and simmers away on the stove by itself until it's ready to be enjoyed! We aways like to make a huge pot, and store batches in the freezer to enjoy later on.
