Cozy Day Soup
There’s something cozy about this soup. Whether you live in a climate that has a slight chill
already or you’re stuck with 80* days for the foreseeable future, this soup will bring you
comfort. This recipe uses a boxed soup as a base and gets elevated with more veggies,
beans, and chicken sausage to make it heartier.
