Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a great Christmas and holiday season. 2022 flew by! We blinked and welcomed 2023. It is so hard to believe a new year is here! One of our goals this year is to be more consistent with our blog. With that being said we wanted to share a new soup recipe. It is so good and super easy. Every year during the holidays one of our dear friends gifts us with fresh sausage from his hometown. This year I was looking for a new recipe and this one was a winner! We will definitely be making this again this winter. It is full of veggies and flavor! Perfect for a cold day. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did!
