Summer Chicken Noodle Soup
Everyone’s favorite classic chicken noodle soup using summer vegetables! So hearty, comforting and cozy, even in the heat!
It’s been a very hot summer.
I mean, it’s always a boiling hot summer in Los Angeles.
Yet.
Is it weird that I’ve been home all day with this hot pot of soup?
I’m dripping sweat.
But.
I can’t stop.
With the summer veggies and cannellini beans, this is truly a bowl of hearty comfort food.
But don’t judge me too much if I’m sitting by the pool with a bowl of this soup.
