Soup.

I’ve said this a million times before and I’ll say it again.
There’s nothing more comforting on a cold winter day than a big bowl of soul warming soup.
Nothing can compare.
Nothing.
Ok maybe a big mug of hot cocoa spiked with some Bailey’s and topped with whipped cream and chocolate syrup that’s equally comforting. ..
But nothing else could compare…
And besides being comfort food at its best, it’s easy to make, requires only one pod and it’s quite nutritious! This soup is nothing short of fab :)  It’s rich yet light, pretty thick, just a tad spicy from the chicken chorizo sausage, packed with kidney beans which are a great source fiber and we all know that spinach is a complete power food! The marinara gives it an Italian twist and the orzo is the perfect component to tie everything together in a big bowl of yuminess :)
Have I convinced you yet to give it a try? Because you really should! :)
