I recently bought my wife a book titled Nourishing Recipes to Heal and Thrive by Stacey Isaacs. This book has many great simple ingredients and this recipe is adapted from that book. I changed a some major things from that recipe as the ideas hit me. The final product is a light text and flavor soup. This soup with pair well with some simple seasoned pan fried chicken breasts. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
