Today was cold and rainy and I loved every minute of it! This recipe was perfect for today! It made a ton though. So what we didn't eat or pull for lunch tomorrow, I froze for another cold, icky day! Perfect with winter around the corner!
The original recipe called for 3 cans of chicken broth with roasted garlic. I couldn't find this anywhere! So I used regular chicken broth and added fresh garlic. If you find it, let me know!
