In preparation of moving, I’ve been trying to use up all our food. We only have a small cooler, so I needed to tackle the fridge and freezer. I decided to make soup and just throw everything in. The freezer is practically empty now! This Chicken and Vegetable Soup turned out great and it is super healthy since it’s packed with tons of veggies. Yum! Enjoy!
