It’s comforting.
It’s like home in a bowl.
It makes the whole house smell fantastic.
Clearly I’m on Team Soup!
Ryan, on the other hand, finds soup to be less than thrilling. To him, soup is an appetizer and leaves much to be desired. He thinks it needs more stuff.
When autumn arrives, I inevitably go on a soup kick. Though I’d love to curl up with a hot bowl of soup by the fire, eating a bowl of soup in Florida in the 80-degree fall weather means sweating at the dinner table.
But I cannot help myself.
It’s October and it’s hot outside, but this year’s soup-makin’ kick is in full swing!
And guess who gave my most recent soup recipe a thumbs up? Ryan the Soup Hater.
Last night I set out to make a chicken soup that we both would love. I added lots of vegetables (for me), lots of chicken (for Ryan) and minimal broth so it was extra chunky and more substantial.
Rave reviews all around!

I’ve been following your blog for a little over a month now and I have been quiet until now!
Your FOOD always looks SO good!! Huge portions of healthy stuff, I love it and I pin almost everything you post!
where’s the noodles and/or rice?
Hi Julie! I wanted to let you know that I just made this soup and it is DELICIOUS!! This was my first “chicken soup” attempt and it is a huge success! I sauteed the onion first and put the chicken in for a minute or two before adding the broth. I also added a lot of black paper and garlic to the broth while the chicken was cooking. It is full of flavor and tastes SO good. Thank you!!
Just made this soup for dinner tonight. It was delicious and so easy!! Thanks for the recipe!!! Love your blog!
My husband is a soup hater as well, but if I put meat in it he’s usually a good sport about it. If I put meat and cheese in it, he begs for more 😉
I love this kind of approach to using what’s on hand! Sounds like you came up with a tasty one here.
Hey Julie, quick question! do you think I could sub some elgg noodles in instead of the onion? If so, do you think I should add some more brother or other ingredients? Going to make this this weekend when Im home on thanksgiving break for my family:) lazy movie night requires a big bowl of warm soup:)
