I love him so much sometimes I don’t even know what to do with myself. Like last night, when he came home with this:

If you want to bulk up this soup itself a little more, try adding some quinoa and black beans like I did the next day for lunch!

We ate this soup warm but it would also be good cold in the summer!

Enjoy!
