Fall has finally arrived! (Sort of - since some days still feel like summer) Since it’s supposed to get colder this weekend and I have lots of fun Fall activities planned, I was really wanting some warm soup! This was pretty easy to make and full of good veggies I served mine with curry roasted chickpeas for extra crunch (you can find the recipe for those below!)
