Happy National Soup Month! It's hard to beat a warm bowl of soup for supper on a cold winter night. Soup is a great meal choice because it's delicious, economical, and easily adjusts to your family's unique tastes. Plus, by doubling (or tripling!) the recipe, leftovers become the next night's supper (or even a week's worth of lunches.)

During January, our CSS Lincoln Food Market shoppers will enjoy a bonus basket filled with the ingredients for this delicious soup recipe. Enjoy a bowl yourself and chase away the chill!
